PREFACE 



I, after a long and prayerful meditation and cov- 
enant with the Almighty God, have been directed by 
the communion of the Holy Spirit to show to the 
many thirsty souls therefor the Wine of Life, or 
perfect unanimity of the Law of Moses and the Law 
of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to take all of the 
"rested" Scriptures, comparing the same side by 
side, uniting the charity or bond of perfectness, from 
vine to vine, and from church to church, and from 
house to house, and from brother to brother, show- 
ing to a dying world and to all of the envious 
preachers, teachers and biased carnally, that one 
brother, one neighbor, and creed or vine, has as much 
right to the living "waters of life" and dews of 
heaven as another, thereby having a leading ten- 
dency to peace and harmony and a more equitable 
tranquility in our homes; thereby every father and 
mother, sister and brother, can truly rejoice when 
God calls some one of a family to join one "tree" or 
"vine," and another to join some other cultured 
vine or tree; the author realizing that he, himself, 
was called to the Methodist Church while young, 
living for more than twenty years, like many others, 
without any charges ever coming against him in the 
church, and yet the divine calling has fully come 



15 



forth that we must make the angel's music in this 
life by harmonizing the Grand Staff or Double Staff, 
by allowing all of the choir to keep time together, 
knowing if the reader will only read carefully that 
much lasting good will come from this peace with 
God. 

Now, it is the intention of the author of this little 
key to God's law to teach it as being a principle 
which can not change to favor anyone, nor to con- 
demn beyond his unchangeable love, mercy and wis- 
dom. 

Now, to enter upon this subject, we must render 
ourselves unselfish, and take the different articles 
and sections of this work up a step at a time, accept- 
ing what God says as a fact, and that God is Light, 
Love and Power, and that what is against God's 
commands is of no other source but Satan, for there 
can not exist but two forces, one of God (Love and 
Light), the other, hatred, darkness, and Satanic. And 
therefore, God gave us the Bible for an infallible guide, 
for whosoever will may understand His unchangeable 
law — and we will take them up in order, as God hath 
laid them down, to make the way so plain that the 
wayfaring man "may not err" in living this life.

Key to the Lost Treasures 
of the Bible 



Watchwords Are: "THE HOLY SCRIPTURES/' 

These are the Old and New Testaments. They 
were written by holy men, inspired by the Holy Spirit, 
and contain God's revealed will to man. They are a 
sufficient and infallible guide in religious faith and 
practice. 

Sec. 2. — Being and Attributes of God. The Scrip- 
tures teach that there is only one true and living God, 
who is a spirit. 

Deut. 6 :4t — The Lord, our God, is one. 
ist Cor. 10:14 — He is the Living God. 
1 st Cor. 8:4 — There is none but one God. 
John 7:28; ist John 5 :20; ist Tim. 6:17. 

Sec. 3. — Self-existent, eternal, incorruptible, omni- 
present, omniscient, omnipotent, good, wise and holy, 
just and merciful, the Redeemer, Sanctifier and Judge 
of all, the only object proper to be worshiped. Ex. 
3:14; Ps. 83; John 8:58; Rev. 4:4; Ps. 90:2; Deut. 
33:27; Rom. 1:20; ist .Kings 8:27; Jer. 23:24; Acts 
15:18; Ps. 28:9; Ps. 34:9-10 ; Acts 1:24; Job 42:2;

Mat. 19:26; Mark 14:36; Luke 18:27; Eph. 4:6; 
Job 9:12; Dan. 4:35; Rom. 11:36-36; Ps. 119-68, 
Thou art good; Ps. 25:8; Mat. 19:17; Jude 25, To 
God only wise ; Dan. 2 :2o; 1st Tim. 1:17; Jude 25. 

Sec. 3. — There is nothing in the universe that can 
justly represent Him, for there is none like Him. 
Gen. 1:1; Ex. 20:11; Ps. 33:6-9; Col. 1:16; Rom. 
11:36; Neh. 9:6; Job 7:20; Col. 1:16; Heb. 1:2; 
Isa. 47:4; Ex. 31:13. "I am the Lord that doth 
sanctify you." 1st Thes. 5:23; Jude 1 ; Ex. 34:14-20, 
4-5 ; Mat. 4:10; Rev. 19 :io ; Job. 1 1 :y. "Canst thou by 
searching find out God?" "There is none other like 
Him in all the earth." 

Sec. 5. — There is none like Him. He is the founda- 
tion of all perfection and happiness. He is glorified 
by the whole inanimate creation, and is worthy to be 
loved and served by all intelligence. Ps. 18:1-2, "The 
Heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament 
showeth his handiwork. Day unto day uttereth 
speech, and night unto night showeth knowledge." 
Ps. 150:6, "All Thy works shall praise the Lord." 
Acts 17 125. 

Sec. 6. — Divine Government and Providence. God 
exercises providential care and superintendence over 
all His creatures, and governs the world in wisdom 
and mercy, according to the testimony of His word. 
Acts 17:28, "The very hairs of your head are num- 
bered." "Consider the lilies of the field, they toil not, 
neither do they spin." Ps. 22 :28; Ps. 27:2. 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 19 



Sec. 7. — "Righteousness is of the Lord." God has 
endowed men with power of a free choice, and gov- 
erns him by laws and motives. And this power of 
free choice is the exact measure of his responsibility. 
Deut. 30:19, "I have therefore set before you life 
and death, blessings and cursings. Therefore choose 
life, that both thou and thy seed may live." Isa. 
1:18-20; John 5:40; Rom. 2:14-15; Prov. 24:28; 
Ezek. 33:11, No pleasure in the death of the wicked. 
Acts 15:18; 1st Sam. 2:30; Rev. 4:11; Isa. 43:7; 
1st Tim. 6:17, "The living God, who giveth us richly 
all things to enjoy." 

Sec. 8. — All events are present with God from 
everlasting to everlasting, but His knowledge of 
them does not in any sense cause them or does He 
decree all events which he knows will occur. 

Sec. 9. — Primitive State of Man and his Fall of 
the World. God created the world and all things 
that it contains for His own pleasure and glory and 
for the enjoyment of His creatures. There were also 
angels created by God to glorify Him and obey His 
commandments. 

Sec. 10. — Those who have kept their first estate, 
or love, He employs in ministering blessings to the 
heirs of salvation and in executing His judgments 
upon the world. Col. 1:16; Rev. 7:11; Ps. 103:20; 
Heb. 1:14; Ministering spirits; Judge 6:2; Sam. 
24 :i6. 

Sec. 11. — Of Man. God created man consisting 



20 Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible. 



of a material body and a thinking, rational soul. He 
was first made in image of God, to glorify his Maker. 
Our first parents in their original state of probation 
were upright (Gen. 2:7); made of dust (Gen. 1:27, 
Cor. 6:20). They naturally preferred and desired to 
do obedience to their Creator, and had no desire to 
transgress the law until they were influenced and 
inclined by the tempter to disobey God's commands. 
Prior to this the tendency was to do righteousness, 
but in consequence of the first transgression the state 
under which the posterity of Adam came into the 
world is so different from that of Adam 1 that they are 
easily led off, yet, not willing to obey God. Hence, 
none by virtue of natural goodness and works can 
become the children of God, but now they are all 
dependent for salvation upon the redemption effected 
through the blood of Christ and upon being created 
anew into obedience through operation of the Spirit, 
both of which are freely provided for every descend- 
ant of Adam. Ecc. 7 129. "God hath made man 
upright." Ep. 4:24; Col. 2:10; Ps. 51:5; Rom. 8:7; 
Eph. 2:3; Ps. 58:3; Gen. 8:21; John 3:6; Gal. 5:19- 
21 ; Rom. 5 :i2 ; John 6 144; 1st Cor. 2 114. "The nat- 
ural man receiveth not the things of the spirit of God, 
for they are foolishness unto him, neither can he know 
them." John 3:3, Born again; John 3:6, 1:13; Heb. 
12-14, "And holiness, without which no man shall see 
God ;" Col. 1:14; Titus 3:5. 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible. 21 



Chapter II. — Regeneration. 

Art. 1. — Of Christ. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, 
possesses all divine perfection. As He and the Father 
are one, He in His divine nature filled all the offices 
and performed the works of God to His Creatures that 
have been the subject of revelation to us. As man He 
performed all the duties toward God that we are re- 
quired to perform. And we are to perform all the 
duties that Christ performed, the repentance for sin 
excepted, for He had none. His divinity is proved 
from His titles, His attributes and His works. 

His Titles. — The Bible ascribed to Christ the titles 
of Savior, Jehovah, Lord of Hosts, the First and Last 
God, and the Everlasting Father. Isa. 45:21; Isa. 
43:10; John 4:42; Phil. 3:20; 2nd Tim. 1:10; Titus 
2:13; Ps. 83:18; Isa. 40:3; Luke 1:76; 1st Peter 
2:4-6; John 12:41; 1st Tim. 3:16; 1st John 3:16; 
John 20:28-9; Heb. 1:8; 1st John 5:20. We are in 
Him — that is true. 

Art. 2. — His Attributes. He is eternal, unchange- 
able and has all of the attributes which is wholly 
worthy to divine worship, as He is one of the Triune 
Godheads. (Authoritative. W. A.) 

His Works. — By Christ the world was created. He 
preserves it, governs and provides redemption for all 
mankind. "Whomsoever will may come." Will be 
their final judge. Heb. 13:8, "Jesus, the same yes- 



22 Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible. 



terday, today and f orevermore ;" Heb. 1:12; John 
3:13; Mat. 18:20; Mat. 28:20; Eph. 1:23; Col. 2:8- 
10; Mat. 28:18; Heb. 1:3; Rev. 1:8; Heb. 1:6, "Let 
the angels of God worship Him." 

.Art. 3. — The Incarnation of Christ. The Word, 
which was the beginning, was with God, by whom all 
things were made, condescended to a state of humilia- 
tion in being united with human nature. But would 
not sacrifice but will have mercy. Had the infirmities 
of the flesh like us, but did not yield to the tempta- 
tions ; rendered perfect obedience to the divine require- 
ments. As Christ was made the seed of David by 
the flesh, He is called the Son of Man, and as the di- 
vine existence is the fountain from which He pro- 
ceeded, and was the agent by which He was begotten, 
He is called the Son of God, being the only begotten 
of the Father, and His nature was divine being. John 
1:14; Phil. 2:6-7; Cor. 8:9; Heb. 4:15; Heb. 2-17; 
Mat. 8:17, 4:2, 8:24; John 11:3-5; John 19:28; Isa. 
53:3; Luke 22:44; Mat. 4:1-11; Pet. 2:21; John 
2:6, 13:15; John 16:27; Mat. 1:18-20; Luke 
1:36; Mark 1:1; John 1:24, 20:31; John 16:13. 
"When He, the Spirit of Truth, is come, He will guide 
you in the way of all truth." 

Art. 4. — Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit performs 
all the attributes of God upon those who are filled with 
it, as to guide, to know, to move, to halt, to give in- 
formation, to send forth, to reprove and to be sinned 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



23 



against. The attributes of God are ascribed to the 
Holy Spirit, as : Eternity, omniprescence, omniscience, 
goodness and truth. The works of God are ascribed 
to the Holy Spirit — creation, inspiration, giving of 
life, sanctification, etc. Acts 13:4; John 16:8; Gen. 
6:3; Mark 3:29; Isa. 63:10; Acts 7:51; Eph. 4:30; 
Heb. 9:14; 1st Cor. 2:10, "The Spirit searches all 
things, yea, the deep things of God;" 1st Cor. 6:11, 
"But ye are sanctified." The same acts which in one 
part of the Bible are attributed to the Holy Spirit are 
in other parts said to be performed by God. The 
apostles assert that the Holy Spirit is Lord and God. 
Isa. 6:8-9, "Hear ye indeed and understand not." 
John 3:16; Mat. 1:18; 2nd Cor. 3:17; Acts 5:3-4, 
"Why hast thou lied to the Holy Ghost?" The con- 
clusion, then, is that the Holy Spirit and God is the 
same and the Father in divine perfection. It has also 
been stated that Jesus Christ is God in the flesh — then 
we have got the triune, or three in one, Father, Son 
and Holy Ghost, which must remain as long as God 
remains, the same throughout eternity. 

Holy Spirit — Holy Ghost. 
— God the Father. 

Jesus Christ, the Son. 

Must be baptised unto the Father, Son and Holy 
Ghost. In the Father (controller), and the Son (the 
flesh of the Father), and unto the Holy Ghost, mean- 
ing that part which leads the flesh, controls the action 



24 Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



by intuition. The truth of this decision is also estab- 
lished by the fact that the Father and the Son and the 
Holy Ghost are united in the auhority by which all 
believers must be baptised and in the benedictions pro- 
nounced by the apostles, which are acts of the highest 
religious worship. Isa. 6:8; Mat. 28:19; 2nd Cor. 
13:14; Dan. 6:25; 1st Pet. 1:2, "Grace be unto you, 
and peace be multiplied." 

Art. 5. — The Atonements and Mediation of Christ. 
As sin can not be pardoned without a sacrifice, Christ 
gave himself a living and bleeding sacrifice, and thus 
made salvation possible to all men who would honor 
and glorify Him and take up His Cross day by day, 
giving themselves a living sacrifice, wholly acceptable 
unto God. He died to make known to men what it 
' takes to be righteous on earth, to stand fast to the 
love of truth unto the shedding of blood, and thereby 
made the way so plain that the wayfaring man, though 
a fool, need not err therein. His light goeth not out by 
night, and thus through the redemption effected by 
Christ, that salvation is actually enjoyed in this world 
by all who will live all the time in obedience to His 
commands, and in the next world will have more joys 
than human tongue can tell, and more splendid bless- 
ings than mind can comprehend. The atonement from 
sin (or the elevation above sin) was a necessity, for it 
is impossible for carnal man to disconnect himself from 
his natural lust and inbred sin without the power of 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 25 



God and the eternal, living Spirit incessantly, to lead 
man as by a lamp unto his feet and it must be done by 
God Himself, by the anxious desire of the contrite 
heart of the sin-burdened applicant pleading to God, 
crying Abba, or Father. Heb. 7 125, "He ever liveth 
to make intercession for them;'' Rom: 8:34; Heb. 
9:24; 1st Tim. 2:5; 1st Cor. 15:24; Mark 16:15; 
Isa. 45:22, "Look unto me and be ye saved;" Prov. 
8:8-4; I sa - 55 :I ; R- ev - 22:17; Joel 2:28, "I will pour 
out my Spirit upon all flesh;" John 16:8; John 1:9; 
Isa. 55:11; Luke 2:10; 1st Tim. 2:24, "Who wili 
have all men to be saved and come unto the knowledge 
of the truth;" Acts 10:34, "God is not a respector of 
persons;" Ezek. 33:11; Pet. 3:9, "He will make 
intercessions for man till the final judgment;" Rom. 
5:18, 8:11, "There is therefore now no condemnation 
to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after 
the flesh, but after the Spirit." Thus we see that 
those who have that Spirit also have a light unto their 
feet. Mark 16 :i5 ; Rom. 2 :i4-i5 ; Heb. 8 :22 ; "With- 
out the shedding of blood there is no remission of 
sins," Eph. 1:7; "In whom we have forgiveness 
through the remission of sins," Rom. 5:19. 

Art. 6. — The Mediation. He died for our sins and 
arose for our justification, and ascended into Heaven 
as mediator between men and God to make interces- 
sion for us, for our justification. Rom. 4 :25 ; 1st Cor. 
15:17; Acts 1:11. "This same Jesus which is taken 



26 Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



up into Heaven." Mark 16:19; Heb. 7:25. "He' 
liveth to make intercession for us." 

Art. 7. — The Call of the Gospel. The call of the 
Gospel is co-extensive with the atonement, to all men, 
both by the world and by the striving of the Spirit. 
So salvation is the same to all the world, and the 
responsibility to all is alike, and if any should fail to 
obtain eternal life the fault is wholly their own. Mark 
16:15, "Go ye unto all the world and preach the Gos- 
pel to every creature;" Isa. 45:22; Prov. 8:4; Isa. 
55:1; Rev. 22:17; Joel 2:28, "I will pour out my 
Spirit upon all flesh;" John 16:8; Isa. 1:9; Luke 
2 :io. 

Art. 8. — Repentance Required. Repentance, which 
the Gospel requires, includes a deep conviction and 
penitential sorrow, and an open confession and a de- 
cided hatred for every kind of sin and evil and a 
quitting and abandonment from the connection of its 
practice willfully. This is the repentance that God 
has enjoined upon all mankind, and without it in this 
life, the sinner must perish eternally without remedy. 
Cor. 7:10, "For Godly sorrow worketh (in present 
tense or time) repentance to salvation not to be re- 
pented of;" Ps. 51:17; Prov. 28:13, "He that cover- 
eth (or hides) his sins shall not prosper, but whoso- 
ever confesseth and forsakes them shall have mercy." 
Ps. 32:3-5; Ezek. 36:31, "Then ye shall remember 
your own evil ways, for your iniquities and abomina- 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 27 



tions;" Acts 17, "But now commandeth all men every- 
where to repent ;" Luke 13:5, "But except ye (all that 
sin) repent, ye shall all likewise perish;" Acts 3:19. 

Art. 9. — Faith. Without faith it is impossible to 
please God. Saving faith is an assent or a raise of 
the mind to the fundamental truths of the revealing of 
God's love, and acceptance of the Gospel, through the 
influence of the Holy Spirit, coupled with a firm con- 
fidence and trust on Christ as the saving element. The 
proof of faith is obedience to the holy command of the 
Gospel. 

The power to believe is the gift of God, but the act 
of believing is the will and privilege of the creature, 
which is required as a condition of pardon, and with- 
out believing the sinner can not obtain salvation. 

All men must believe in Christ, and all those who 
yield obedience to the requirement become the chil- 
dren of God by faith — Rom. 10:10. With the heart man 
believeth unto righteousness — Gal. 5 :22. But the 
fruits of the Spirit of faith — 1st Cor. 12:8-9. 

Acts 16:31, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and 
thou shalt (not may) be saved." John 3:16; Rom. 
4:20-22; Eph. 3:12; Jas. 2:17, "Faith if it hath not 
works is dead, being alone." 

Gal. 5:6; 1st Tim. 1:5; Phil. 1:29, "Unto you it 
is given in behalf of Christ, to believe on Him." 2nd 
Pet. 1:1; Eph. 2 :8 ; John 3 -.36. 

"He that believeth (now) on the Son, hath (now,

sin tomorrow) ; he that believeth not, the wrath of 
God abide th on him" (in present time). Mark 16:16; 
John 8:21-24; Heb. 11 :6; John iwy. 



Chapter I. 

Art. 10. — Regeneration. As man is a fallen and 
sinful being he must be regenerated (made fresh or 
new) in order to obtain salvation. 

This change is an instantaneous renewal of the 
intent of the heart made by the Holy Spirit, whereby 
the repenting, weeping sinner receives new life and 
becomes a child of God and desires to serve Him. 

The birth of the Spirit in the soul is seed planted 
for the second favor or blessing. Being quickened 
so that the heart and mind wishes to stay in the right 
place when tempted, and a hungry and tnrlsty soul set 
in striving against sin. As Paul expresses : 

"Oh, wretched man that I am ! Who shall deliver 
me from the body of this death ?" 

And partaking of the divine nature. Rom. 8:1; 
Gal. 3 :26.

"Except a man be born of the Spirit, he can not

His word or works). John 1:13; Ezek. 36:26-27; 
Titus 3:5, and Eph. 2:10; Rom. 8:16. 

"The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit that 
we are children of God." John 1 :i2, 5 125 ; Jas. 1:18;

"I will give them a new heart. I will put a new 
spirit within you, and I will take the stony (hard) 
heart out of their flesh, and I will give them a heart of 
flesh, that they walk in my statutes and keep my or- 
dinances and do them. 

"And they shall be my people, and I will be their 
God. But as for them whose heart walketh after 
their detestable things and abominations, I will recom- 
pense their ways upon their own heads, saith the Lord 
God." 

"Then did the cherubims lift up their wings and

"Ye might be partakers of the divine nature." Heb.

"And ye now therefore have sorrow (trouble) ; 
(i. e., I am here, first, now) ; but I will see you again 
(second time), and your hearts shall rejoice. John 
16. (Yet with them, would have told them more, but 
they can not bear to hear them yet.) John 16:1. 

"When I come again (in spirit), I will guide you 
into all truth;" (i. e., in second favor there is no mis- 
take). 

The seed of the Holy Spirit planted in Mary and 
brought forth peace and glory to God and man. 

First favor when planted in anguish till birth; sec- 
ond work produced happiness and salvation from sin. 
Mat. 1 :2o; Jer. 87. 

The raven went first to dry up the waters. Gen. 
8 :8. The clove was sent forth from him to bring back 
a correct report of the waters. 

But the first time it returned it had found no rest- 
ing place; he put forth his hand and lovingly rescued 
the innocent bird upon its first return for favor but 
the second time it had been tried by faith and truth 
seven days. After he sent it out it brought back evi- 
dence of her diligence, which was an olive leaf that 
she had plucked and lovingly brought home to her 
master.

Which is always the result of the second work or 
favor. 

Then when he set her free the third time, she went 
to her happy resting place. 

Job. 13 :3, "I have heard of Thee by the hearing of 
the ears, but mine eyes now seeth Thee." 

We see from the fourth verse in this chapter that 
he at last fully decided to covenant with God many 
years, and God had been with him in the first favors. 

And Job from there on prayed for those who held 
him in derision. God spake to the three great men of 
their day and rebuked them for not speaking the truth 
as Job had. 

And Job from there on after prayed for those who 
had him in counsel (or advice), and the Lord blessed 
him again with a second blessing or a double portion 
(Job 42:4-5-6-7-10; Rom. 7:22) after conversion in 
regeneration. 

For I delight in the law of God after the inner man, 
but I see another law in my members bring unto me 
the law of sin and death. 

Hence we find him, like Job in the first state. 
"Oh, wretched man that I am ! Who shall deliver me 
from the body of death?" 24th verse.

Chapter II. — On Sanctification. 

After this, then, we find Paul consecrated. Rising 
up to write again, he says : 

'There is therefore now no condemnation to< them 
that walk not after the flesh but (walk) after the 
spirit," Rom. 8:1-5, showing that he was fully satis- 
fied to offer up himself as an offering. Heb. 12 :i4. 

In the first state you can not stand to touch the holy 
things of God. Heb. 12 : 18, 2 126. 

Whose voice shook the earth (once), yes once more 
I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. 

Second justification shows that the person justified 
has been guilty before God, and in consideration of the 
atonement of Christ, accepted by faith, the sinner is 
pardoned and separated from sin of the past and re- 
stored to the divine favor. 

Though it is Christ's atonement which is the foun- 
dation of redemption from' sins, 

Yet, without repentance and faith, it can never give 
him justification and peace with God. Rom. 5:1. 
Peace with God. Rom. 5 :i6. 

The free gift is of many offenses unto justification. 
Acts 13:39; Isa, 53:11; Acts 3:19. 

"Repent ye, therefore, and be converted, that your 
sins may be blotted out."

Chapter III — Work of God's Grace. 

Sanctification is a work of God's grace. 

Since by grace the soul is cleansed from all sin and 
consecrated to Christ. 

It begins after a Christian has been tried by faith 
until the Holy Spirit returns to the patient or anxious 
prayers of the one worthy to receive it. 

At a time that the Holy Father appoints. Luke 24, 
"And behold I send the promise of the Father upon 
you." 

"But tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem until ye be 
imbued with power from on high." Luke 24:53. 

Continually in the temple, praising and blessing 
God. St. John 14:16. Another comforter (or bless- 
ing). St. John 14:17. 

And shall be in you (not in pretense). St. John 
14:26. And will send Holy Ghost (in the future 
tense), after they were tried. Ezek. 4:8, 595 years 
before Christ. 

"Behold, I will lay hands upon thee, and thou shalt 
not turn thee from the one side to the other." Mat. 
13:12. 

To Him shall be given. Mat. 13:20. Heareth the 
word and hath no joy in it (cast off). 



34 Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



"For whomsoever hath, to him shall be given, and 
he shall have more abundant, but whosoever hath not, 
from him shall be taken even that which he hath." 

"But he that receives the seed into the stony places, 
the same is he that heareth the word of God, but re- 
ceiveth it not with joy. 

"For when tribulations and persecutions arise, he is 
offended, and therefore is cast off." 

This represents the first and second work. Rev. 
19 :8, 20 :6. 

"And I fell at his feet. Blessed and holy is he 
that hath a part in the first resurrection (or favor). 
On such the second death hath no power/' 

Mat. 13:20-23. We have three that get the first 
work and were not worthy of the second, and another 
place where the servant only kept his talent clean and 
did not speculate on it. His answer was, "Depart 
from me, ye workers of iniquity" (injustice). 

And agrees : Cursed is he — sits by his father's or 
mother's light. — Dent. 27. 

And those who had got the first talents and in- 
creased them were permitted to enter into the joys of 
their- Lord, and were able to be rulers over many 
things as the second favor in this life. 

And sanctification is a light unto our feet. 1st 
Cor. 6:11; Rom. 12:1; 1st Thess. 4:3; John 17:17; 
Eph. 5:26; 1st Cor. 6:20. 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 35 



The thief repented on the cross of death and Christ 
permitted him to have the second. "This clay (yet 
living) shalt thou (in this life) be with me in para- 
dise" (that is, holy or happy living), and also be re- 
signed to die for justice sake. 

Justice can with mercy meet. 1st Thess. 4:3-4. 
Even your sanctification. Ex. 29 137. 

Whatsoever touches the altar shall be holy. Sanc- 
tify yourselves at Jesus' feet. 



Chapter. IV — The Perseverance of the Saints. 

The meaning of which is (that is, per se — by way 
of,. vera — truth), The saints shall be saved. 

Therefore there is strong grounds to hope that the 
one who is not deluded in his regeneration here will 
persevere (stay in truth) through the power of divine 
grace, made plain in his own heart, which God prom- 
ises for our support. 

But it is not promised by the Almighty that He, 
himself, will not let us be overcome and fall, but that 
we then have the power ourselves to resist every evil 
temptation through the faith in Christ and overcome 
Satan in all things and come to the throne of grace, 
and with Joy receive it and proclaim his praises. 

And they ought, therefore, to watch and pray, lest 
they make shipwrecks of their faith and be lost. 2nd 
Chron. 15 :2.

"The Lord is with you while ye or you be with 
Him." 2nd Pet. 1 :io. 

"Give diligence to make your election sure — if ye 
do these things, ye shall never fall." Ezek. 33 :i8. 

When the righteous turn, and committeth iniquity, 
he shall die thereby. John 15:6; 1st Cor. 10:12; 
Heb. 6:4-6, 12-15; Ist Chron. 28-9; Rev. 2:4. And

Chapter V — The Sabbath. 

The Sabbath is one day in seven, which from the 
creation of the world God has set apart to meditate 
and worship Him in holy services. 

And under the former dispensation the seventh 
day of the week was commemorative of the work of 
creation, and was set apart for the Sabbath of rest. 

But under the Gospel, the first day of the week is 
used in commemoration of the resurrection of Christ, 
and by authority of the apostles is observed as the 
Christian Sabbath. 

On this day all men are required to refrain from all 
secular labor and devote themselves to worship and 
serving God. Gen. 2 :3. 

God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it. 
Mark 2:27; Neh. 9:14; Ex. 20:8-11.

own words, then shalt thou delight thyself in the

remain faithful to his service, as long as we eat the 
bread and drink the cup, 

Lest we drink damnation to our own souls. 1st 
Cor. 11:26-29, 10:17. For we are one bread, one 
body. 

It is the duty and privilege of all who have spiritual 
union with Christ, then, to commemorate His death, 
and no man has a right to forbid any one to partake of 
these tokens of love and fidelity on feast days. 

"But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat 
of that bread and drink of that cup." 1st Cor. 11 128;

The ordinances are of the Bible alone. We allow 
all members to entertain any mode of church agree- 
ments that is not restricted by the Bible, as revelling, 
rioting, profaning, lusting, breaking Sabbath, and such 
like, 

Which are forbidden in God's word of the Old and 
New Testament, which were given by inspiration of 
God and are our infallible rules of faith and practice. 

There is only one living and true God, revealed in 
nature as the creator, preserver and righteous governor 
of the universe, as Father, Son and Holy Ghost. 

Yet as one God, infinitely wise and good, whom all 
intelligent creatures are to supremely love and adore 
and obey. 

Christ did come a living man, and Christ being in 
Him, in the flesh, and at all times through the spirit 
communed with Him, in His human nature, truly man 
as we are, 

And He became the mediator between God and man.

Once crucified, He is now risen and glorified, and 
is always our present Savior and Lord, and He is al- 
ways with the righteous. 

The Holy Spirit is the reprover, comforter and 
sanctifier of all the sanctified. 

God exercises a wise and benevolent providence 
over all beings and all things, by maintaining the con- 
stitution and laws of nature. 

And He also has special acts of grace, not other- 
wise provided for, as the highest welfare of mankind 
requires. 

Man was created innocent, but by deception and 
temptation fell into a channel of disobedience and con- 
demnation, 

And his posterity thereby inherited a fallen nature 
of such tendencies; hence all are guilty before God un- 
til redemption. 

The work of Christ, the Son of God, by His incar- 
nate spirit, suffering death rather than do evil, was 
resurrected. 

He showed the resurrection for all who are sancti- 
fied to His will, full and free, and are saved through 
faith. 

The condition of salvation is sorrow for sin and the 
renunciation of evil.

Faith, and the unreserved committal of one's self 
to Christ as the Savior, with the sole object of loving 
and obeying Him in all things. 

In the exercise of saving faith the soul is renewed 
by the Holy Spirit, 

Freed from the ruling (that is, dominion) of sin, 
and thus becomes a child of God, 

And continues in obedience, until the love of God 
is overruled by the lower elements of sin, is willingly 
submitted to till the faith is lost. Heb. 10:23, 26, 28, 

30, 31, 35. 38- 

Now the just shall live by faith, 

But if any man shall draw back, my soul shall have

Chapter XIV. — Election. 

An applicant comes before the Lord promising to do 
all the duties of the office according to the tenor of 
the necessities of that office — that is, salvation. 

Just so, God created an office for every one of His 
people ; whosoever will, let him come, that is, in His 
own image, to glorify Him. 

And the conditions of salvation are to all who do 
the will of God on earth with a pure heart. 

Blessed are the pure in heart ; they are His elect.

Any man has the power over himself to yield to 
the influence of truth and love, or the power to reject 
the same in spirit, and eternally perish. 

God desires the salvation of all of His images. 

His Gospel invites all, the Holy Spirit strives with 
all ; all believers in Christ who through grace perse- 
vere in holiness to the end (of life) shall be saved. 

The Gospel ordinances- — baptism by water or into 
water, according to the Holy Spirit, and the Lord's 
Supper — must be perpetuated under the Gospel. 

It is the universal obligation, and all true believers 
shall through love and devotion partake of it once' 
every year. 

The Christian Sabbath. The divine law requires 
that one day in every seven be set apart from secular 
employments and amusements, 

For rest, to keep it holy, and worship God and 
praise all His ways, and personally commune with His 
love and Holy Spirit. 

The Scriptures teach that there is a resurrection of 
all men at the last day. 

They that have clone the righteous deeds here will

And those that have done evil, sin, lust, lie, un- 
just, deceit, even the wicked, shall go~ away into eter- 
nal punishments. John 5:29; Mat. 25:46.

"And no other life is worth living." 

Hence John 17: "I sanctify myself that ye (all) 
may be sanctified." 

Now, when a man joins a church and acknowledges 
that he sins intentional and they all who agree to the 
same are guilty of joining the band of the wicked to 
do evil (the same) then — to kill, is not more than 
sin ; to steal, to lie, to fornicate is no worse than death ; 
then, for a man to stay out of the church and sin is 
not as bad as to join the church and sin, for God hath 
said that judgment must begin at the house of the 
Lord. 

And it is better never to have known the way than 
to turn aside after you have known it. iWisdom excell- 
eth folly, and far as light excelleth darkness. Then we 
see very clearly that every one who justifies a crime or 
speaks favorable to it is guilty of the same crime. 

Hence, the one who joins the mob who know that 
it is commonly known that they all wilfully sin, they 
have a purpose to cloak their crimes in this body ; 
therefore all good hearted, honest people are actually 
ashamed to publicly or secretly join a band who do as 
our preachers are guilty of today; therefore God says, 
I will cut you off root and branch. And we find that 
we have about 72,000,000 people without homes and 
still the preachers are leading them down and getting 
them to be baptized into' an agreement to sin, and not 
for the remission (or sending off of your) sins. The 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 49 



word and meaning of remit is to send off, and our 
preachers of today read it thus : Repent, be baptized, 
for to sin a lot more. Christ says for to send off all 
sins. 

When a man tells me he is a member of any church 
and does sin daily, I know well that he is only 
waiting to get a chance to sin — just as big sin as the 
opportunity will afford, for any man who' would lie 
for one nickel would tell two for a few dollars, and 
one who would ruin one lady's character without pay, 
or lie on a husband or wife to ruin them, or any one 
else, for 25 cents worth of snuff, tobacco or dram, 
would do any other mean thing to* get enough money 
or friends to buy a gross of snuff or something that 
could be hid, and then join a mob to act good. And 
every member, preacher and deacon who knoweth 
these things and then allows and speaks favorable are 
guilty of the same crimes, and for these crimes this 
government will fall and great will be the fall thereof. 
They inculcate crime in their own hearts and their off- 
spring is cursed forever. 

'Tis no wonder to me that the pious, good, moral 
people are ashamed of the preachers of this land. They 
mock and act sacred in congregations and call on God's 
holy name and get out and ruin a lady or woman how- 
ever, or use a lot of nicotine or other corruption, and 
ruin a lot of boys and girls, and can not discern be- 
tween clean and unclean things.

Chapter XV. — To Light the Path. 

A covenant like this one will be very good in any 
community in God's moral vineyard. 

Having given ourselves to God by faith in Christ, 
and adopted the word of God as a rule of faith and 
practice, 

We now give ourselves to the righteous law to pro- 
tect the right wherever found, and, by the will of God, 
in this solemn covenant, 

We promise to obey Him in all things, and avoid 
all appearance of evil, knowing that when evil is con- 
ceived that darkness has overshadowed us, and that 
we must get out of sin and evil before we can be in 
the light of God. 

We therefore admonish each other that if evil ap- 
proaches another, that we will be diligent to help to 
light his path. 

We have got the law of God and His righteousness 
now in just such plain terms that any child that prays 
to God for salvation can understand God's salvation 
of the soul. 

The object of this lesson is to take all of the tenor 
of God's law, and condense the much writing of the 
history of the Bible, to show that God is always the 
same to all alike, and that the salvation of man was 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 51 



through the love of Christ, being so 1 full, till He made 
the way so clear that the wayfaring man, though a 
fool, may not err therein. 

Thus, God made everything that was made for His 
own glory, 

And having all power, He could also have glory 
thereby. 

Next, He made man after His own image, to glorify 
Him. 

Then, God is Love, Light and Righteousness. 

He is in His Son and Holy Spirit (Holy Ghost). 
Then, you see, we have a man in His image, that is, in 
love, in happiness, in a rising element, 

And has the power over his own habits and move- 
ments, regulations and such. 

For first example, Adam had the controlling of the 
Garden of Eden till God came the second time (to be 
happy), a lovely companion to glorify him; also with 
the knowledge and the power and the entire spirit of 
independence, like his Maker, with the law in his 
anatomy and mind ; but when he was entreated to aban- 
don or turn aside from the law, he had the communion 
of the Spirit, to cause him to go to work and hide 
himself from the presence of the one that he wished 
to please.

And his speech betrayed him, as Peter's did, four 
thousand years later. 

The next feature was that God was turned from 
them and placed a burden on them, for He saw that 
it was better for a man to labor for his bread than to 
be idle. 

Hence we find them tilling the soil, and after awhile 
we find that the wicked sinner wants to take the blood 
of his brother who was righteous, and slayed and killed 
Abel. 

For Abel lovingly cared for his herd, and loved 
God so well that he gave one of the best of his herd 
as an offering to God for God's love toward him. 

Then when God came to Cain and asked him, Cain 
said, like the wicked man does today, 

"Am I my brother's keeper?" 

The Lord made it so plain to him that he said : 

"Lord, I can not stand that." Like the sinning 
church members tell me; they say, "I can not stand to 
love my neighbor as myself." 

But God told Cain that the blood of his brother 
cried out against him and what Cain said was not so. 

The next example on this subject was when God 
blessed Eve and Adam the second time. 

Then was the first time that man began to* call on 
the name of the Lord. 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 53 



Adam lived one hundred and thirty years, and Seth 
was in the image of his father. Gen. 5 '.24. 

And Christ tells us, or one of the prophets does, 
that Noah was a preacher of righteousness. Gen. 6 :6. 

We see that God was grieved at His heart, like 
your mother and father are, when you do wrong, and 
God said, 

They are all gone wrong; I will destroy them off 
the face of the earth. Gen. 7. 

We see that God told Noah that He had seen him 
righteous before Him, and God told him what kind 
of a house to build to take care of the things that he 
wanted saved, and for him to take eight souls into the 
ark to save them, and that every other thing should be 
destroyed. 

Now, remember, this was two thousand, three hun- 
dred years before the birth of our Lord. 

Now you see the Lord came to Noah tlie second 
time, and blessed him, and blessed him on earth, and 
gave him and his children everything upon the face of 
the earth, and also made him ruler. 

Now we see, after this, that great earthly cares draw 
people off from the love of God, for it was not long 
before the people were evil again. 

For one of Noah's sons made fun of his father, and 
God smote him with a mark forever. Look out, little 
fellows! Gen. 9:25-27.

Then we see them start off hunting-. Gen. 10:8-9. 
And we find also the son that ridiculed his father, is 
the father of the hunter's band. 

And the same gang went clown and were destroyed 
at Nineveh. 

We see the same character went to Babel or de- 
struction later. Gen. 1 1 :g. 

We find them in the twelfth chapter that God came 
to Abram the first time and cautioned him to get out 
of bad company, and from among those who were so 
sinful. Gen. 12 13. 

"I will bless them that bless thee, and I will curse 
them that curse thee." 

Oh, what a protection from God, who is able to 
crumble the moon and stars, to- tell a righteous man, 
who was after God's own heart, that He would curse 
all who did him a curse. 

Praise the Lord. 

So Abram did all that the Lord told him to do. 

Yes, and that was nineteen hundred years before 
Christ was born, you will see if you look. 

And in the thirteenth verse you will see that the 
Lord told Abram to tell the people that Sarah was his 
sister, which if she did the will of his Father she was 
also his sister in love, and wife by affinity. 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible

And in the thirteenth chapter we find that Abram 
was like God, he gave Lot his choice of homes. 

God gives ns our choice of homes, just so we divide 
them, and do not try to mix Heaven and sin together. 

;We notice another feature in the eleventh verse, 
that Lot had the first choice, and went the way of sor- 
row, fourteenth chapter and twenty-third verse. 

We find what it takes to please God. Abram says : 
k T will not take from you a thread, even to a shoe 
latchet; I will not take anything that is thine." 

Do you think that you would love a man, or a love- 
ly woman, that would not touch anything that was not 
theirs? 

Then listen to God's soothing words to 1 Abram after 
that fifteenth chapter: "I am thy shield and exceed- 
ing great reward." 

And the most of the fifteenth chapter is taken up 
telling of God's promise to Abraham, but he was not 
yet called Abraham, but only Abram, until after he 
offered up Isaac for love of God. 

And this shows very plainly that the man of God 
would be pleased to give up this earthly pleasure, rather 
than not do as God tells him to do. 

In the seventeenth chapter of Genesis we see the 
Lord (in our mind) when He came to Abram the 
second time, and telling him what covenant he was 



56 Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



going to make, "And the fullness of the earth shall be 
of thy seed." 

In the ninth verse he shows him that from this day 
hereafter to all his people that they shall do the whole 
law, and placed a restriction on every male child at 
eight days old. Ezk. 44 :g. 

All that do not from their appearance show that 
their fathers have placed the rule over them shall be 
lost. Gen. 17:14. 

Oh, friends, do we not need fathers today to return 
to the old landmark? 



Chapter XVI. — Food of Angels. 

Cursed is the man who moves his neighbor's land- 
mark. 

And Abraham was ninety-eight years old when he 
used upon himself the sharp blade of restriction to 
glorify God, and we see in the eighteenth chapter that 
when Abraham fulfilled all the law, that three angels 
came down and they gladly rejoiced together. 

And the Lord said: "I know that he (Abraham) 
will command his children and his household after him, 

"And they shall keep the way of the Lord, to do 
justice and judgment." 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 57 



But Abraham stood yet before the Lord. And Abra- 
ham drew near and said, "Wilt thou also destroy the 
righteous with the wicked?" 

In the nineteenth chapter we see Lot risking his life, 
with great threats from wicked men, to take care of 
the traveling men at his house. 

The third verse shows Lot's love. 

The eighth verse shows his danger. 

And the eleventh verse shows what a great protec- 
tor an angel is to one lonely man, whom all manner of 
men hate for God's sake, or righteousness. 

Verse twenty-six shows that you should always look 
ahead and praise the Lord in your onward journey, 
and never look back at anything you can not help. 

You see here that God is called the protector of the 
righteous,' and that love manifested for God is always 
reciprocated, in bright array, when the true heart is 
in the saddest state. 

Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebecca for 
a wife. 

We see in the twenty-fifth chapter of Genesis that 
we have the spiritual second work. "The older shall 
serve the younger." The older — first generation — and 
the younger — sanctif ication — state of contentment with 
God's favors or possibility for God's sake, 23. 



58 Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



And we see from the character of Jacob and Esau 
what God meant when he said, "Jacob have I loved 
and Esau have I hated from before the foundation of 
the world." 

He was a hunter; he did not appreciate God's favors. 

The reason God loved Jacob was because he always 
was faithful, diligent, and paid for what he got. 

Esau lusted and sold his birthright for something 
for mouth and teeth, and then sought to take his 
brother's life for paying his own price for it. 

You will see some people that way today, and God 
is not a justifier of that trait, yet. He is always the 
same. 

In verse thirty-eight we see that all sons actually 
know that the divine Father has a second blessing, so 
you see from his birth that God has told him that the 
older shall serve the younger, and God always carries 
out His laws. 

And you see that as soon as the sinner falls to the 
feet of his Lord and cries for the second, that the Lord 
blesses him, too, with all the fatness of the earth and 
the dews of Heaven. 

But when man takes the advantage of the death of 
the Father (or Holy Ghost) to do his murderous 
deeds, that there is always the Holy Spirit to convey 
the news to the righteous man of God. 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 59 



We advance a little further, to Genesis 28-19. When 
God revealed himself to Jacob, he set up a stone at 
that place and called it Bethel. 

And in the twentieth verse we see that Jacob made 
a covenant with God, in which he said, "Of all that 
thou wilt give me, I will give a tenth unto thee." 

Then after Jacob had sought the mercy and protec- 
tion of the living God the first girl he saw was Rachel, 
Gen. 29 19, the one that he served seven years for. 

She was all that sanctification and holiness repre- 
sents. 

He faithfully labored and diligently served his mas- 
ter for her, and when his time was out the wedding 
came off and he was married, and lo and behold ! it 
was only regeneration — weak-eyed — for his Lord told 
him that it was not lawful for the young'est daughter 
(i. e., sanctification) to marry first. 

And that he shall serve seven years for the next, and 
then he would have both, that is, regeneration and 
sanctification, both. 

And after he had got both of them he had to serve 
both of them a long time before (sanctification) his 
heart's joys brought forth any actual happiness. (Off- 
spring.) 

Study this in prayer and you can understand it 
easily. 



6o Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



We go further on and we find that these two moth- 
ers were the salvation of all his people, which of course 
you know already that through regeneration that all 
were saved, they must be regenerated through Jesus 
our Lord, and sanctified through Him. "Even your 
sanctification, without which no man shall see God." 

And in Heb. 2:1-1, "For both He that sanctifieth 
and they who are sanctified are all of one, for which 
cause He is not ashamed to call them brethren." 

Which you clearly see that He is ashamed to call a 
man brother who is not sanctified. 

And in Heb. 3:14 we see that if we are steadfast 
unto the end of life, we are partakers of Christ, and 
we will not harden our hearts against the righteous. 

For in the days of provocation in Egypt in Moses' 
day there were none who had sinned that entered into 
the promised land that were over twenty years old. 

And in 10:10 we see that it was by the free will of 
Christ that He came to do God's will. 

And it must be by the "which" will (that is, the 
same free will) that we are sanctified through the of- 
fering of the whole body to sanctify, or wholly give, 
our hands, feet, tongue and soul to good works through 
a living, pleasing cause to Godward. 

In the ninth chapter we find that the whole chapter 
was devoted to explaining the first and the second 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 61 



work, or, that is, the first veil and the second veil is 
Paul's way of pointing it out to us who are so hard to 
communicate with God's love. 

And in the clear explanation he lets the ark of the 
covenant represent the body of man, and the man who 
hath outside gold on him (or regeneration) also had 
on the inside a whole pot full, and more, too. 

He also hath holy bread in him, and many other 
good things, as Aaron's rod that budded, and two 
stones. 

The pot (that is, the heart) also hath mercy in it, 
and it is also protected or sheltered with the protecting 
wings of the cherubims. 

And in verses eight and nine we see that a man in 
the first state is not capable of getting in to the second 
work of God's love, or sanctification ; 

That they have got to continually fast and pray till 
God will open their hearts and hands and eyes, and 
open the second veil or shadow, and then they from 
then on would never wish to touch or even look at 
anything that was not holy to the God that he and it 
both belonged to. 

No more than you would take the life of your own 
child, for it will destroy your own soul, which is equal 
to the same.

Chapter XVII. — Eternal Life. 

Turn and read the following passages of the Good 
Word: John 17:19; 1st Cor. 1 \2-30; Eph. 5 '.26 ; Jude 
1 ; Rom. 15:16; 2nd Thes. 2:13; 1 st Pet. 1 :2 ; 

And you will see that Christ nor any of the apostles 
never promised to anybody those richest blessings, un- 
less they did truly and wholly sanctify their whole 
body and mind, even unto the end of life, or world, as 
some of them say. 

And then we raise our eyes and think fast, and we 
will drink in the love of God, for the same love was 
made plain from the days of Adam. 

The law was even pictured to the ignorant man and 
child, so plain that any ignorant one, today, ought to 
understand the pictures of love and pictures of fear, 
and others of faith, and others of all the different 
things that were necessary to cause the people to be- 
come sanctified, in soul and spirit, hands and feet. 

And the poor, mean selfish serpents of men took 
the mean side of the illustration and followed it. 

And did lie to God and the Holy Ghost, like Ana- 
nias did when he saved back a part of his promise 
to God for his wife, 

And they were both buried the same day, to show 
all mankind that God will avenge every liar, either 
here for a while or in hell forever and eternally. 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 63 



Now we see that in Genesis, the second, that as soon 
as God's work was done, the first thing He did was 
to sanctify the seventh day. 

And all who are in His image may do the same. 

Then after He sanctified the day of rest, he was of 
a mind to make a man in His own likeness. 

And then He loved him so dearly that He made 
every good thing that man could enjoy, to bless His 
chosen glory (i. e., man), and everything that was 
pretty to the eye, one good blessing. 

And when God placed Adam in the Garden of Eden 
to make it beautiful, He gave him the good law that 
if he ate any sin or evil, he would surely die. 

He was very loving, and gave him the law of sin, 
just like Christ hath left it with us today. 

And when Adam went to sleep God took a rib out 
of him to make a woman. 

Now, we find that God took different ways to draw 
people unto Him. 

We find in the fourth chapter of Genesis that Abel 
was a good man, and that Cain was sinful and slayed 
the good brother because his own deeds were evil, 
and Abel's deeds were righteous before God. 

So this first law of good and evil was then just like 
it is today. 



64 Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



Thus, when you see a man who is not Godly, you 
may surely know what is the matter. 

The man who is envious in very small things will 
commit very trashy sins. 

Look at Genesis 48:1-18, and you will see the tenor 
of God's law is clear in that explanation. 

When the good old grandfather called for his two 
grandsons, to> bless them at his death, he was so filled 
with love, like a dying Savior, that he even raised up 
in his bed, to grant his posterity his future blessings. 

Though he was blind, he knew where to place his 
right hand. 

And when his loving son told him to bless the old- 
est with his richest blessings, he told Joseph that the 
youngest or last birth (that is, sanctification) shall be 
greater than he. 

That is (spiritually), that regeneration is first and 
very great, but the second is far ahead of that. 

Now, that you may understand this subject very 
clearly, all of the apostles and prophets teach : 

That you must have belief and faith in God, and 
in the Lord Jesus, before you can repent of your sins. 

And James and Paul say that : "Faith without works 
is dead." That is, if you have such faith your daily 
conduct will prove it, and according to your faith you 
will work. 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 65 



Chapter XVIIL — Practical Tithes. 

Now, back, fourteen hundred years before the birth 
of Jesus, God told Moses that he must sanctify His 
people ; which they must be good men to be sanctified. 

And all of their sanctified had to bring' forth of 
their own raising and training at least one kid, one 
year old, and one calf, one year old, and one lamb, one 
year old. 

All of them must be raised without one spot or 
blemish, once every year, as a free will offering to the 
Living God, as a proof of their faithful and diligent 
effort to glorify God. See Lev. 8:30-36 and 9-16. 

Now, this is so^ clear, who can mistake? For you 
know that God will require as much diligence in rais- 
ing your children to be one year old, without one spot 
or blemish, as He would a calf or a kid. 

And this command to kill them and lose them in the 
offering was SO' thoroughly demonstrated that you 
must not allow the loss of time, diligence or patience 
to cause you not to do all that could be done to bring 
them up in the right way. 

"Be ye therefore patient, for in your patience you 
possess your soul." 

And you can also see that it was actually more trou- 
ble to raise three beasts perfect than to raise one child 
perfect. 



66 Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



But the sinful people, they took the dark of the law, 
and went wild after shedding innocent blood, and do- 
ing and thinking every mean thing. 

That the law only had reference to an honest con- 
fession being good for the soul. 

And on one occasion there were several hundred 
beasts slain on one meeting day. And some got to 
where they depended on buying or stealing the offer- 
ing, which showed no diligence or love for a small, 
helpless, hungry kid or lamb for which the law was 
written, to cause every man to cultivate his loving 
kindness and protection for every living creature which 
God hath made. 

And instead of proving their faith by their works, 
they proved by the crimes which they committed that 
they neither had faith or love. 

Then God decided that He would make it plain, 
and He told Abraham that he should bring the knife 
of restriction on the children and men all alike, Ezk. 
44:9; Josh. 5:2; Gen. 17-13-17. 

So the way would be known, and that they must be- 
gin at nine days old, and God made them a promise 
that all of them should be saved. Gen. 17:14. 

And you see that when a man has faith enough in 
God to place a sharp-edged knife upon himself and his 
children, that shows that faith will produce good 
works, even to the shedding of blood to resist sin.

It shows that we will act according to the demands 
of the one that we love the best. 

Therefore we know the tree by its fruits, and if the 
fruits of men are sin, as lies, lust and such, we know 
that the actor of it was serving his chosen master. 

And as we only have two masters, God — that is, 
love, light and truth — or the devil — that is darkness, 
hate, sin, lies, lusts — we know that whatever produces 
any element of lust or sin is directed by the Satanic 
destroyer of good. 

And whatever produces good, love, peace, truth and 
light is of the Godly spirit — is of God. 

Read the eighth chapter of Luke and see what a 
character that Satan is, and how much depth of love 
and perfectness a man must have to please God. 

And also Kings, seventeenth chapter, and see how 
firm a man is able io stand before kings and rulers 
when he knows that he is in the right and in the light 
of God. 

And look how God will provide for the righteous ; 
even the angels of God will feed them, and the ravens 
— that is, birds of prey — will feed God's righteous 
people.

You will look at the next one of God's efforts to 
make people understand the law of love, and that a 
man's actual, every day efforts, and works would al- 
ways make known what he was fit for in God's sight. 

The sprinkling of the door post with blood every 
year before bedtime shows that you must be very dili- 
gent and orderly every day in life, as you could not 
raise enough kids that were gentle enough to catch 
one every year in time to get his fresh blood, to save 
your oldest son's life that night. 

He made this picture, and it actually was the case to 
the letter of the law, to exemplify that a man was re- 
sponsible for the moral raising of his boys. 

And later on, we find that the mother was responsi- 
ble to God for the way that she disobeyed the father's 
orders in Godly living. Judges 14:19. 

And you will see that it requires almost incessant 
prayers to keep enough gentle kids and spotless calves 
and offerings once a year, as it does to raise the boys 
and girls perfect and holy. 

In Proverbs, the twenty-first chapter and third 
verse, we see that the Lord plainly explained that 
obedience was truly better in the sight of the Lord 
than sacrifice, 

Although to always be ready, to prepare and give ' 
a sacrifice to the Lord' with a willing heart would save 
the life of the oldest child.

He says, because disobedience shows rebellion and 
stubbornness : 

"Self-willed, they are not afraid to speak evil of 
dignities ; clouds they are, without water ; raging waves 
of the sea, foaming out of their own destruction." 

One of the apostles says : "Sin thereby shows that 
you have rejected the word of God." And in Sam. 
5 -.29, "The strength of righteousness does not have to 
be repented of." 

That is, it would be wrong for a man who was do- 
ing right to be sorry enough for it to quit his right- 
eousness. 

Therefore, Christ said : "I did not come to bring the 
righteous, but sinners, to repentance." 

You can hereby understand that to repent means 
to abhor a thing so much that you will let it absolutely 
alone. 

See Genesis, forty-third and forty-fourth chapters, 
and you will clearly understand that if you do not 
make the oldest boys to lead a perfect life of obedi- 
ence, they will take the little obedient sons off and get 
them into troubles and into pits of sin, and sell them 
to Satan, in some lust or habit that may break their 
mother's or father's heart, and bring their many 
friends into an endless earthly sorrow, and bring much 
sorrow over their country.

So you see that literally this is very true, and that 
God himself may use this opportunity to benefit future 
generations, but it would do equally well for some one 
else to do for the example, and you be free from the 
curse. 

Now, this figure is also a complete illustration of 
how the regenerated spirit was always complaining at 
the sanctified spirit; 

How the oldest son, or spirit, was always complain- 
ing and grumbling at the youngest son, or spirit. . 

For one instance we may turn to the ninth of He- 
brews; he tells of the holy, and then to explain, he 
says holiest. 

We then turn to Heb. 9:26-27, and we see that 
there was a first and a second coming of the spirits. 

,We then turn to Ex. 3 or 3 133, which is the picture 
of a house to represent the body of man, and the 
vessels represent the different conditions of man's 
heart and soul. 

And the sinful people do not understand these terms, 
because of their indifferent love and cares for God's 
mysteries. 

And all of the Old Bible with all of the examples 
and illustrations of every personal history, and king- 
doms, rulings, and risings and fallings, and every dif- 
ferent case, from family rulings to king's, were used 
to show the full meaning of love. 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 71 



And to show that where the whole heart and intent 
were fixed on love, that the power of God had always 
protected them. 

Even if it required the sun to stand still, or Sodom 
to sink, or Nineveh to be burned, or the Daniel of 
righteousness rescued from the hungry lions, or the 
Hebrew children to pass through fire that was hot 
enough to burn up a sinner in a second. 

And they can actually dance the holy dance and 
come out praising God in love. 

And where a man has this evidence their clothing 
will scarcely be scorched, and I tell you, if you have 
got the law of truth and right in your heart, and will 
pray to God, you will never yield to the scorches of 
the sins of this life. 

Even if you do have to pass into the walls of 
oppression and abuse — that is only the true evidence 
that you have pleased God and that Satan has made 
his appearance to try your faith. 

Because, of a truth, a good man will never abuse 
anybody, no odds how mean and sinful they act. A 
good man will calmly find out the status of the case, 
and then sound the trumpet of the truth to all the 
good people of the vicinity, and let the law of the land 
take its course. 

In Matthew, twelfth chapter, the Lord tells us 



72 Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



plainly that if we do evil things, that we do not know 
the truth. 

Then a man that knoweth that he does evil deeds, 
and then tries to teach the word of God, his own words 
betray him. 

He is surely in darkness, and any man, woman or 
child would be very simple to follow his instructions. 

Read the thirty-seventh to the forty-fifth verses and 
you will see that the Savior knew that the preacher 
who teaches that you cannot live above sin, or keep 
from sinning, is seven times as dangerous as the man 
who has never been converted. 

And Numbers, 14, 23, 24, 28, 31, 37, and in the 
fiftieth verse of the twelfth chapter of Matthew we 
see that we are actually equal to the mother or brother 
of the One whose will we do ; that is, if we keep His 
commands and do them, we are His brothers. 

But if we do not keep them, we do not know Him, 
and He will deny all before God who are ashamed to 
testify for Him before every living man. 

Now, we will go back to another of God's illus- 
ions. He shows to everybody that if a man had the 
faith that he would go anywhere to please God. 

We will go back to Num. 8:1, to make it so plain 
to all of the most ignorant that any man who did do 
right was anxious to be a candlestick for the people — 
to hold the light. 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 73 



The photograph has one light for every day in the 
week, and that there are six lights, three in front of 
you and three behind you, to always reflect on every 
day's conduct in this life, and that all six days of the 
week are shining against the one you are this day 
holding. 

And it also shows very plainly that the carrier of 
a light was not fit to convey the light of God unless 
he was made of a quality of gold that would bear all 
of God's beatings and chastisings that it took to "prove 
that his perfectness was pure charity. (Sons, not 
Bastards. ) 

And with faith and hope moved by love, which it 
takes to make the four sides of perfect love. 

And to show that the candlestick (that is, preacher) 
would also have flowers on him, to represent that he 
would have living sap enough at all seasons of the 
year to bloom. 

And that the odor of the blossom would be of the 
richness that it would make a sweet essence for God 
always. 

And if you take them from the children of Israel 
and put purifying waters upon them, that they will 
and must keep themselves out of sin, and even keep 
their garments clean, and must keep their flesh clean. 
Num. 7:82; Rev. 2:4-5. 



74 Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



In Num. 8:21 and 9:15, 16, we see that whenever 
we are blessed, that the love of God moves us forward ; 
that we also have a shadow over us, that we may not 
understand. That is so with every church member in 
the regenerated state ; he finds out at once that he has 
many scorners to laugh at him that he was not expect- 
ing to have. 

Now this is God's opportunity to reveal his separat- 
ing power. 

See Num. 10. You see that the two silver trum- 
pets are to show you that you always have two signals 
to follow, and you may know after that you have 
learned the difference in the sound of the trumpets, 
which one is calling you. 

They are both of silver alike, and solid at that, but 
the first calls you for one thing, and the second for 
something better and of a more noble cause. 

In Numbers, the eleventh and twelfth, 11-18, we see 
that this spirit produces sanctification, and then in the 
twenty-fifth verse we see very clearly that when men 
go and obey God, and pray and fast certain whole 
days, in the regenerated state, and have the faith, that 
the second spirit of grace will come and they Can all 
prophesy. 

There were seventy on that clay in the tent, and 
two out of the tent, that were able to prophesy and 
glorify God. 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 75 



And we will also see that when the preacher is in 
that attitude, he is also anxious for all to he prophets ; 
as Christ said to one of His apostles : "Let them 
prophesy, for they that are not against us are for us." 



Chapter XX. f — Lusting for the Flesh Pots. 

We also see in verses 32 and 33 that when people 
agree and call on God for anything that is right, that 
many sins are destroyed. 

We also see that all who wenLin mixed crowds fell 
lusting, like they do in these days. 

But in those days they daily talked about carrots ' 
and onions, greens and meat too much, and fell lusting 
after them. 

And today they talk and think about all other kinds 
of things, as cold drinks, tobacco, snuff, whiskey and 
such things, and have cursed this land, and God will 
cut you off as sure as you do not repent in sackcloth 
and ashes. 

Look to Num. 16:15-32 and you will see that as 
sure as a man keeps bad company and associates with 
their habits the God of Heaven will destroy them with- 
out remedy. 



j6 Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



And read the rest of that chapter, and you will see 
that all who offered of their incense to God, that the 
sinners offered, died, two hundred and forty in 'a 
moment. 

Today, we have as many that are not satisfied be- 
cause the Old Bible and the law of Christ both say 
that a man must be sanctified. 

And give yourself a living sacrifice to God ; he 
cannot enter into the kingdom of God, eternal life, etc. 

See John 17:19; 1st Cor. 1 :2, 30:6; 2nd Eph. 5 '.26; 
Bab. 2:10, 10:10; Judge 1 ; Rom. 15:16; 1st Pet. 1,2; 
2nd Thes. 2:13, and just get out and find how many 
people are actually angry with you because the God 
of the universe hath declared that it is a fact, and 
many are angry at the man who entertains the idea. 

That God and Christ meant that every man must 
be sanctified as Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Job, Abed- 
nego, Joshua, Daniel, Joel, David, Ruth, Annie, De- 
borah, Mary and many others who God said was holy. 

And how many are preaching and telling you of 
our plans of salvation, which is an insult to the word 
of truth, and talking of bearing the burdens of the 
Lord, which is an abomination in the sight of God. 

For he has said that they shall be cut off who take 
no joys in my liberty. They are no burden to the 
righteous; praise God for His perfect laws of truth 
and salvation. 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible

Now we will look to a few like meanings of the 
New Testament and the Old "Bible compared together. 

First look at the fourth chapter of Luke and see 
how long the Spirit of God will keep a man alive and 
in an attitude to control himself and retain the integrity 
of his heart and direct his mind and tongue when he is 
in communion with the sanctified state and consecrated 
love of God. 

And this was not the only time that Christ was 
known to fast forty days without food or drink either. 

But some will say that no one could do that but 
Jesus Christ, but of a truth I tell you that Christ came 
here to show you that all men were made by God's 
own divine law that He made at the beginning, and 
the thing to get into your mind is that the consecration 
and sanctification is the force of God's eternal law. 

And you sanctify yourself to wanting to do right 
and to the will of God, and God will make you able 
to glorify Him in whatsoever is right. 

Look to Genesis 45:20, 47:12, and Ex. 4:13, 18-25. 
We will note right here that in those days there were 
very few people -who> could write or read, and all that 
they knew were drawn as pictures, so that the most 
ignorant man or child or woman could understand ex- 
actly what it meant, as an index board to show the 
direction to travel to go where you want to go. 



78 Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



By keeping this in your mind, you can readily un- 
derstand what the Mosaic law meant in all of its 
changes and illustrations of each figure, so you may 
understand. 

Now, look to the thirteenth verse, that the offer 
must be of your own free will or God will not accept it. 

This chapter shows that all that we do shall be for 
God — all colors, gold, silver, oil for the lights, spices 
for annointing all who need it to heal breaches, that is, 
broken hearts. (See page 215). 

And to bring back the lost stones in the ephod, that 
is, in the heart — the law written in the heart so deep 
and firm it may never come out. 

And the eighth : "Let them make me a sanctuary, 
that I may dwell among them" (stay in them). Christ 
said: "I will be in you and you will be in me." 

John says, if you are born of God, that you will be, 
and so does Paul say the same and all the rest of the 
apostles say the same. 

And in the ninth verse the ark represents the body 
of every man — that is, it must be filled with those pure 
golden vessels (that is, firm hearts). 

The cherubims at each end of the ark of the prom- 
ise of God, or the father and mother, must spread their 
wings exactly alike over the mercy seat of the little 
seraphims (that is, little dolls). 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 79 



Their wings must lap. Christ explains that by say- 
ing, "A house divided against itself cannot stand." 

Too, the lights shall never go out. Pray without 
ceasing. Ye that do these things shall never fall. 

You see that these are synonymous (James, Paul 
and John) terms, and have the same object for the 
parents to watch for. 

Now it requires work to always be ready to have 
an offering for the Lord on these meeting days — that 
is, it takes labor to< get pure olive oil to offer, and it 
takes work and planning and discretion and faith in 
God to have a badger skin ready to 1 offer for an offer- 
ing. 

And I should say that it takes sweat of the brow 
and diligence and faith to furnish much cash in gold 
and silver, and to raise up lambs and kids and yearlings 
to offer once every year, and them without spot or 
blemish. 

I believe that it is just really easier to raise a child 
above reproach, with diligence and patience. 

"Be ye therefore patient, for in your patience you 
possess your soul." And again, we see in the temple 
there must be a brazen river with clear water in it at 
all times of the day. 

Have each one of us got that river in our hearts at 
all times of the day? Say, have you? That water 
that will never run dry or get muddy. 



8o. Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



And the temple shall be 
gold. Say, when you are 
like gold in your hearts? 
trimmed and burning? 



lined with (pure) beaten 
beaten, do you yet shine 
Do you keep your lamps 



Chapter XXI. — All Law Kept by His Prophets. 

We will now direct our thoughts to the beginning 
of the world, and see that God prepared a man for a 
prophet, and that each and every one that He prepared 
did teach all of God's law. 

And that some of them would teach it according to 
the requirements, according to their (the people's) 
understanding. And as the people advanced in un- 
derstanding and knowledge, it took different illustra- 
tions and language to teach the actual tenor of the 
law. 

Now we will take the parables of Christ and try 
to make it so clear that we may never commit another 
sin intentionally while we live. 

Now we will compare the laws of Christ with the 
laws of God which were given to each of the other 
prophets at the different dates, from Adam on down 
to each one of the leading ones, as Adam, Enoch, 
Noah, Abraham, Moses, etc. 

Now first, we take the special prayers:

Chapter XXII. — The Strength of the Chain. 

Every Christian man is exactly as strong as the 
weakest link of the chain of charity which he has made 
with his own conduct after his willful effort to conse- 
crate himself to his Maker. 

(Therefore the servant is never greater than his 
Lord. Satan's service is sin.) 

Therefore the one who separates the love of chil- 
dren or family, man and wife, and the fond ties of the 
love of truth (for the love of truth is the law of God), 
and anything that secretes or hides, deceives or lies to 
any of mankind, is of the "devil." 

And the knowledge to hide a fact is the true evi- 
dence that it was a condemning sin. 

Like Adam, made a garment to hide in before he 
met God after he had sinned. 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 85 



And we all know, that we have made a weak link 
in our chain. 

Charity — that is, the bond of perfectness, our charity 
that we are full ofi — is the chain that binds us to the 
perfect law of liberty. 

To do that which is exactly right in the sight of 
God, and be happy in it — i. e., to not want to do evil. 

Each day we live is a link in our chain that is to 
bind the devil for a thousand years. Rev. 20:2. 

Now please tell me how a man can make a link to- 
day out of a dozen rotten eggs, an old blind or sween- 
ied mule, and lie to his merchant for an old plug of 
the devil's tobacco to spit his corruption back in God's 
face. 

And tomorrow go to church and hide behind the 
thief that asked Christ for such an impossibility and 
made one link in the chain of charity good. 

Have I got little enough sense to take the job to 
make a chain for you to hold off a calf from sucking 
while you milk a cow, would I make one iron link of 
truth, one wire link — fiction, one straw link — swindle, 
one rotten egg link — willful, deliberate sin, one leather 
link — to a slippery falsehood on a man, one grass link 
for calf to chew — to gain people's favor, one salt rag- 
link — to make people gentle, so all will speak well of 
you? 



86 Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



(Woe unto him whom all men speak well, of.) 

Which makes seven days in the week. And paint 
this chain and take it to you for a chain to' hold your 
calf. Then the next time I met you I would not need 
any witness ; my countenance would be the judge. 

God knows the chain that binds each heart to His 
perfect law of liberty. 

And the chain with one broken link has turned the 
devil loose to your soul. 

Christ says: This is Peter (Cephas is a. stone). 
Mat. 16:18. "And I say unto you (three), that thou 
art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church." 
John i '.42; Rev. 21 114; Eph. 2:20. In the future (I 
will build). "And the gates of hell shall not prevail 
(overrule or crush it) against it. 

''And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom 
of heaven. 

"And whatsoever you shall bind on earth shall be 
bound in Heaven (in future time). 

"Whatsoever you loose on earth shall be loosed in 
Heaven." Mat. 13 :i2. 

Then in the twenty-fourth and twenty-fifth verses, 
see : "If any man will come after me, let him deny 
himself (of lust, idols and such like) and take up his 
cross and follow me. For whosoever will save his 
life shall lose it. 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 87 



"And whosoever shall lose his life for my sake 
shall find it." 

"For what is a man profited if he gains the whole 
world and loses his own soul, or what will a man give 
in exchange for his soul?'' 



Chapter XXIII. — The Two Keys. 

Now we are ready to take up the two keys of the 
kingdom of Heaven, for it truly has two. 

The first one opens the sinner's understanding of 
sin and death, and learns him it is imperative and 
binding to< keep all of Christ's commandments which 
were given in the beginning. 

Which all loyal citizens are ready to admit it is 
necessary to keep or we are not good neighbors. 

That is, we must have but one God, must not steal, 
must not commit rottenness nor corruption, must not 
covet, must not falsify, must not kill. 

We are all willing to admit this, that if we are 
guilty of these offenses we must pay for the violation. 

And now comes the first key, that must unlock that 
stony heart to God. 

For God knows all things, and all things are pres- 
ent with Him. 



88 Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



You must repent before Gocl with an open con- 
fession, and God will go with you to show you your 
responsibility for a while, and you will have tempta- 
tions to overcome. 

Like Abraham when he. offered up Isaac, and Job 
when he prayed God to take him out of his trials, 
and Elijah when God told him that there were seven 
thousand more holy men reserved to Him. 

And like Paul in the seventh chapter of Romans : 
"Oh, wretched man that I am! iWho shall deliver me 
from the body of this death?" 

And he got the second key of the kingdom. 

Then he said : "There is therefore no condemna- 
tion to them who walk not after the flesh but after 
the spirit." 

So when we unlock the Holy, we can see our needs 
and the good things of God at the same time by the 
carnal mind. 

But when we get ready to die for God's sake and 
the sinner's soul, 'tis then that we have the second key 
of Peter's lock, and then we can realize what he means 
when he says in his first letter: 

"Elect according to the foreknowledgement of God, 
through sanctification of the spirit unto obedience, 
and the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ, 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



"Grace be unto you, and peace multiplied." Dan. 
6:25. 

And in 15: "Who are kept by the power of God 
unto salvation," etc. 

"Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though for a reason, 
if needs be ye are in heaviness," etc. 

"That the trials of your faith, being much more 
precious than gold, though it be tried by fire, might be 
found unto praise and honor unto glory unto the 
appearing of Jesus Christ." 

And again, second chapter fourth verse : "Where- 
fore, laying aside all malice and envying and all guile, 
hypocrisies and all evil, speaking as new born babes, 
desire the sincere milk of the word," etc. 

Third: "If so be, ye have tasted that the Lord is 
gracious," etc., etc. 

Ye are also lively stones, or built up a spiritual 
house, a holy priesthood. 

Then we look to find out those that Peter lost on 
earth and in Heaven, and we look to his second epistle 
and the second chapter, we find that he lost all of them 
following false teachers, denying the Lord, bringing 
upon themselves swift destruction; 

Those who followed their own pernicious ways (or 
habits), by reason of whom the ways of truth shall 
be evil spoken of, and through covetousness make mer- 
chandise of you (the Christians). Rom. 14:23. 



90 Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



Whose judgment of a long time lingereth not and 
their damnation sleeps not. 

For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but 
cast them down to hell and delivered them in chains 
of darkness, reserved unto the day of judgment. 

And spared not the old world, but saved Noah, the 
eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, 

Bringing in the flood upon the world of the un- 
godly, and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah 
into ashes, condemned them with an overthrow, mak- 
ing them an example unto them (all of them) who

And delivered just Lot and two girls from destruc- 
tion, who was vexed with the conversations of the 
wicked. 

They vexed his righteous soul from day to clay with 
their unlawful deeds. 

The Lord knoweth how to deliver the Godly out of 
temptation. Jer. 44 '.29. 

And to reserve the unjust unto the clay of judg- 
ment to be punished. 

But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in lust, 
and despise government — self-willed, presumptuous, 
not afraid to speak evil of dignities (good morals). 

Peter, twelfth. But these are natural brute beasts 
— made to be taken and burned. They speak evil of

the thing which they don't understand, and shall ut- 
terly perish in their own corruption. 

And shall receive the reward (pay, death) of them 
that count it pleasure to riot in the daytime. 

Spots they are and blemish, spotting themselves 
with their own deceivings (habit of lust), while they 
feast with you having eyes full of rottenness. 

And they cannot cease from sin, beguiling unstable 
souls — cursed children. 1st Sam. 3:13-14. 

Verse seventeenth. These are wells without water, 
clouds that are carried about with the tempest, to

ever. 

For when they speak great swelling words they 
allure (entice) through lusts (desires) of the flesh, 
through much wantonness. 

Those that were clean escaped from those who live 
in error, while they (who serve lust) promise them 
liberty, while they themselves are the servants of 
corruption. Jas. 1-1 5 ; 1 Pet. 2-1 1. 

For of whom a man is overcome, of the same (lust 
or habit) he is brought under bondage. 

For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of this 
world (i. e., lust) through the knowledge of the Lord 
Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, 22nd,

But it has so happened according to the true proverb, 
that the clog has turned to his own vomit, and the 
sow that was washed clean to her wallowing in the 
mire. 2 Ch. 6 120-22. 

Then in the 2nd Peter, and the third chapter : "I 
stir you up by way of remembrance, that ye (all) may 
be mindful of the words of the holy prophet, etc., etc. 

"Knowing this first, there shall come in the last 
days scoffers, walking after their own lusts. 

"But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, 
that one day is with God as a thousand years," and 
vice versa. 

"But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in 
the night, in which the earth shall pass away, and will 
melt with fervent heat. 

"Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, 
what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy 
conversations and Godliness." 



Rev. 9, 18-21, Isa. 26-30, 27-11-13-28^1 chapters. 

Come, my people, enter into thy chambers, and shut 
thy doors about thee. (Enter into your own doings) 
and hide until thy indignations are over. (Till you get 
ashamed of yourself and quit your sin), that is, get 
over your bad habits, for behold, the Lord cometh to 
punish the inhabitants of the earth for their sins 
(habits). The earth shall disclose the blood and will 
no more cover the slain (their followers of filth who 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 93 



slayed themselves) when the people are withered (get 
little) they shall be broken off (means spit off them- 
selves). Isa. 28:8. 

f 'The women will come and set themselves on fire 
(snuff dipping), for these people have no understand- 
ing. (Job 28, the truth of understanding is quit your 
sins, that is that do not know how to abstain from 
lust). Therefore the God who had glory in making 
good men, also hath much glory in destroying the 
wicked men (that is, lustrious). Mai. 2nd Cor. 3:8-10. 

And also Isa. 28-1. Woe unto the Ephriamites 
who follow drunkenness, for none of them can speak 
God's password (Shibboleth), meaning wheat, or 
grain, meaning the bread of life, for all of their tables 
are full of vomit and no place is clean because of their 
spittle, for precept must be precept upon precept and 
every line upon line. We have said by our action in 
worship, that we have made a covenant with death 
and hell, and are at an agreement with hell. There- 
fore, God will lay judgment- to a line, and a plummet 
and all who will not live (in this life) up to that line 
shall be cut off, i. e., fall into the same snare which he 
set. Look to Judges 12-6, Ps. 69-2 to 16th, Isa. 27-12, 
Prov. 26-26, Peter 2-12 to 18 and 19, Rom, 6-1 1 to 
14. Ye are not under the law of wicked men (but 
under grace of God's love), for those who are born of 
God are full of love, therefore sin does not rule over 
you (Christians), i. e., sin has not power to rule over 



94 Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



a good man. Obey not sin in the lust thereof. Let 
not sin reign in your living body (Exo. 20). iWhich 
was the same sin in lust, steal, kill, lasciviousness at 
one age in the world the same as any other age. Now, 
if the death of Christ does not heal you from practic- 
ing each and every one of these sins he failed to keep 
you from sin ; so we see that we have sixty-five million 
people who are today near the destination which 
caught six hundred and eighty thousand men in the 
wilderness. 

Christ Died for the Sins of This World. 
To destroy the works of Satan (lust). Now, if a 
knowledge of His death does not cause you to abandon 
the love of sin and lust, His death is a failure to you 
(you are lost), for just as sure as the mother's love 
for a habit of wine, snuff, rioting is not turned to 
hatred to such, her sons and daughters are cursed with 
that desire, which tells whose flock they belong to, 
and Christ is one shepherd, and Satan the other. Then 
do you want to be spotted? Now, you can come out 
from among such, if you want to, and you shall have 
many stars in your crown of life. According to the 
number of temptations you overcome. Now, dear 
fathers and mothers, do you want to poison your 
sons and daughters? Is it wrong for me to poison 
a neighbor fifty years old, arsenic, mix vomica, or 
nicotine? If so, it is wrong to poison a small child 
after birth with poison which cannot be cured; then 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 95 



if that is so, which is the worst crime, to poison a 
child with poison that can be cured, or to poison him 
with poison that cannot be cured? Then do you 
actually love your own blood, your own child, whom 
you poisoned for life, and impair the very nerve and 
appetite, and mind, maiming them for life? Christ 
says : "Whatsoever you give unto one of the least of 
these you give it also unto me." Now, say, will you 
give the lowly Nazarene a dose of poison today that 
will create a consumptive maniac, a subject for the 
almshouse before it is ten years old, and continue in 
the habit of morphine, etc., etc., which keeps your 
mouth foul, your heart corrupt, your tongue profane 
in the absence of Satan's war artillery? Now, if we 
are born of the Spirit of God we have the new birth, 
we are His children, led by God's Spirit. Then how 
can God's Spirit convey my spirit into a place where 
His Spirit never goes, nor stays ? Christ came to call 
all who would forsake (quit) all their sins, and follow 
Him, so you can clearly see that the Spirit of God 
will not pollute (poison) the temple of the living soul, 
and the sixty-five million people who are at sufferance 
today have brought it wilfully upon themselves, and 
have polluted the temple of the living God (the in- 
dwelling soul), and they and their children are the 
sufferers for it. How many of us can save our own 
children ? God have mercy. Fathers ! Oh, Mothers ! 
Do you love your blood ? Mothers ! Do you love 



g6 Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



your children ? My God ! What is sin ? What does 
it take to be sin if this is not? Christ did not con- 
demn the woman who followed God's law to replenish 
the earth. Rahab, the harlot, saved her father's family, 
and Lot, who was a wayfaring man, was saved. He 
whose grandson strayed off. Elijah, who slaved four 
hundred and fifty preachers (sinning preachers), was 
resurrected to eternal while alive. David, who had 
so many wicked men slayed, was saved, and Abraham, 
whose servant was cast out, was saved. And Solomon, 
whose wives were numerous, was saved. And' the 
woman who was caught in adultery Christ pardoned ; 
and Joshua, who fell to ground from neglect, was 
saved. And many others, too numerous to tell. But 
all who followed after lust of pottage and' onion, and 
garlic, meat and greens, and cattle, and habit, and 
such like, were all lost. 'Twas the beginning of sin; 
the finish of sin is death. Now, we have over sixty- 
five million people who have not kept the first law, 
commandments, raise their children without temper- 
ance, raise up homeless, wicked, swearing children 
who beguile unstable souls. Cursed is the man who 
puts the bottle to his neighbor's mouth. Now, if the 
death of Christ affects my conduct on earth and causes 
me to love, to follow His example and path in this 
life, he saves me from all sins. If not, His blood 
saves the other man, and not me. Jere. 42:13 and 
43-12, I will kindle a fire against (lust).

Chapter XXIV. — Original Commandment. 

So we see that Christ and Peter commands us to 
keep God's original commandment, so that we may 
have the first blessing. 

First, "Thou shalt have no other Gods (plural) be- 
fore me." 

Your God is that which you give daily sacrifice to, 
that is, strong drink, etc. In the United States whisky 
for the year 1906, according to government reports, 
wholesale price, was one hundred and twelve millions 

of dollars $112,000,000 

Beer and cider 117,000,000 

Tobacco 114,000,000 

Snuff 116,000,000 

Cigars : 26,000,000 

Cold drinks 53,000,000 

State of Texas alone, cost of law suits 

from same 875,600 

And for forty-five states, of equal ex- 
pense 52,536,000 

Insurance corporations that collect every 

month for not having faith in God 52,000,000 

For one body and twenty corporations 104,000,000 

Total $1,889,291,600 

For the first commandment, we have seven hun- 
dred and forty-five million, two hundred and ninety- 
one thousand and six hundred dollars per year.

Our people are slumbering over it, but Peter says 
their damnation is not slumbering. Their damnation 
is wide awake. 

Now will we wake up? He says if you will not 
keep the first, you shall not have the second. 

Now, we have 56,000,000 suffering human beings 
in the United States who cannot afford a home. 

We have 26,000,000 who have got homes, and 456 
men who have millions of dollars apiece. 

And every time a law is introduced to benefit the 
sufferers, there is always an educated man to pervert 
the tenor of the law and have it read' in favor of cor- 
porations. 

What is the remedy ? Have we got one ? Answer : 
Yes ! Clean around your own door. 

What must we do ? Every poor man that loves his 
family and the preachers' homes is where it should 
start. 

,Who must defend them? All Christian men and 
women that stand firm. 

When should this begin ? Today by all means. 

Why? Because the poor people are lusting to the 
amount of 8 per cent more each year than they make 
above a living, and the waste money lodges in the 
hands of the money power and corporations, and as

lust seeks company, all who go in mixed multitudes 
fall lusting. 

ist Tim. 6:9; Deut. 12:15, 21:21 and 14:26; 1st 
Pet. 2:11; ist John 2 :i6; Jud. 16:18. 

There is one thing that most people fail to notice in 
•finance in the practical things of life which should be 
taught to every child while it is young, and be ob- 
served all through life, and that is, that there is double 
the difference in making a dollar and spending one. 

That is — $40 is $80 less than +$40, and when you 
spend money for foolishness it is like feeding two men 
to work, and one of them works hard and honest to 
build a thing, and the other works equally as hard to 
tear it down-. 

Two men's time lost, board and expense out, and 
not one thing benefited. 

And yet that condition is not as bad against God's 
laws as the one just referred to, for it takes 117,000 
men's time to make the nonsense, and $700,000,000 
spit out for it. 

And all of that combined only represents the actual 
damage to the minds of the ones who are led and suc- 
cumb to the drawing effects of the nicotine, and losses 
which would have been double back to the good of 
man, and the brain and nerve directed for God's sake, 
and the heart free from the desires of such lust. Jere. 
44:23-30. (See page 215).

On page 135 of the Standard Atlas of the World 
you will see that in 1900, 117,000 men were working 
to make tobacco to curse our country, and 45,000,000 
decks of cards were made to hinder more time. 

And the law makers have overlooked these things, 
and our officers do not execute these laws. 

Lost time and wasted money, until in 1900 the 
United States was $2,104,875,000 in debt ^ page 134), 
and in seven years more she had to borrow money. 

It is strange to me that the government and. legisla- 
tors can not see the defects in our affairs, turn to the 
old landmarks, see the tenor of the law, and preserve 
the finance of the people, so the people could return to 
the Spirit also, and each temple would praise God 
through Jesus Christ, and could understand perfectly. 
Job 28 ; Deut. 27 : 8-28. 

Edison, page 22, says : "To be exact, there are 
21,241,900 acres of land which other nations have ob- 
tained of ours who are not with us.'' 

All this is our own fault. Whatsoever is not fit 
for food shall be cut down and cast into the fire (not 
only of vegetation and trees, but also the people), and 
all the people shall say Amen. 

"He who conceals a crime is guilty of that crime." 
We should teach our children first of all to love God ; 
next, their country. 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 101 



When we read the ist Samuel, sixth chapter, and 
ist Chronicles, thirteenth chapter, we find a very im- 
portant fact plainly written between the lines of God's 
eternal laws of truth. 

We first see that when the ark (love) has been 
forsaken and the kingdom (family, house) divided, 
that wickedness will multiply (rats and mice), and 
will take up the country so badly that the righteous 
people will mourn and weep for their loved ones, and 
that the most dangerous state of malice and envy w.ill 
produce inroads of bloodshed and crime, and danger- 
ous diseases are sure to take the hearts of the family 
(kingdom), and when such things are allowed to 
exist, the people will fail to understand how to arouse 
brotherly love. 

But it was caused by their wicked hearts. For if 
you would take two cows away from their young 
calves and keep therm off until they knew that they 
were suffering, they would certainly express enough 
Godly sorrow to put people to thinking who were 
neglecting the proper care of their children. 

And God himself let the people go so low to show 
all generations that all would be destroyed who failed 
from any cause to make their children walk a perfect 
line when they are young. 

And the mother and father are accountable to God 
for objecting to the most rigid discipline for God's 
sake. Prov. 10:13, 16-3, 13-24, 23-13, 29-15. 



102 Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



And the rod will not kill the child, but will bring 
good results. 

And other people will not watch till it is too late to 
do any good. 

For God told them that they would have to let the 
Levites convey the ark (love) ; i. e., that the preach- 
er's duty is to look mildly after the love of the com- 
munity, and keep down meddling, and if the ark tot- 
tered, no sinner will benefit its condition any; God 
Himself will avenge every meddling hand and tongue. 

And when the elect got afraid to dance the holy 
dance before God (ark), that it would fail to journey, 
but as soon as a man was ready to pay vows and gold 
and build tents for God's sake, for the ark to dwell in, 
that the ark would certanly abide with you for many 
years. 

This is well worthy every Christian's careful study, 
and every mother should pray over this phase of 
God's law. 

I write this because I know the law. 
If you fail to get a wife that's true, 

You'll have no sons to speak your tongue, 
Though many are raised and fed by you. 
They cannot know your heart when old, 

Nor yet while they are young. 
Their mother blinds their hearts each day, 
And keeps their minds turned t'other way. 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 103 



A broken heart is like a fine glass vase or pitcher — 
there is no remedy under the sun that will ever mend 
it. 

When unbounded confidence in a wife is actually 
found to be years of deception and hidden crime, there 
is no power nor "paste" on earth nor in Heaven that 
will ever mend that broken heart which was emptied 
of that sweet confidence and unbounded love (which 
is the same in a companion). 

Death itself is far sweeter than the most soothing 
words from that deceiver, and the greater the distance 
from each other only makes the misery the more in- 
tense, and the presence of them only chokes the true 
love with grief (wicked church of God). 

There is nothing under Heaven which can heal that 
"perfect heart." The success of fifty or a hundred 
dollars a day only makes the heart want some one who 
is worthy to act honest, and together enjoy the success. 

And the very thoughts of a different companion is 
a horror and murder to the heart, and no one with a 
pure heart would tolerate the thoughts of leaving his 
babies to take another companion on earth. 

Therefore every day is a day of torture and every 
thought is hell to this ilfe, and every one who has 
spoken a word to create such conduct is bound for hell. 

Therefore if you take a maid, be sure she is a wife ; 



104 Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



a deceiving- companion is worse than suicide* ten to 
one. Girls, leave off a sinning man. 

The wicked, sinning man cannot realize this fact if 
he should experience it ; therefore this will not benefit 
the wicked, 

But all honest hearts of love and truth 

Can learn of sorrow in their youth. 
And shun the one who would rob your heart 

Of all God's love and sacredness, 
And to the truthful love impart 

And live in peace and thankfulness. 

So we see from God's law, Deut. 21 : 18-21, that 
that natural law of God condemns lust, and if the 
father and mother agree to put sin from them, that 
God's law provides salvation. 

But it must begin at home. Deut. 12:15 shows 
that which thy soul lusteth after must not be taken at 
any time except before God. 

"As oft as ye take the wine, take it in remembrance 
of me." Otherwise you drink damnation to your own 
soul. 

Now, we take the average annual cost of the viola- 
tion of one of the first commandments, and multiply it 
by the number of years that it has been violated in the 
United States, and we find that 8 per cent for twelve 
years makes a slave. 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 105 



And we will thereby see that if we have sixty mil- 
lion laboring men that have got $100 each ahead, that 
in about twelve years we will have just equally as many 
slaves, with about as many babies increase for twelve 
years. 

If our children are born in bondage to habit, they 
are bound by their parents' chains too strong to break, 
for if a man cannot break a link of a chain of habit 
that binds him, his children cannot, either. 

Now we wish to set these laborers and bondsmen 
free. 

Can we do it? Yes, all of us can at once. 

How will we do it? All go to work at the same 
time and keep every one of the commandments on 
earth today, for the first blessing, and this will be the 
result : 

You will keep at your own homes seven hundred 
and forty-five million, two hundred and ninety-one 
thousand and six hundred dollars each year, on the 
first commandment. 

You will gain for the state on the second about the 
same in monuments and other folly. 

And on the second you will gain for your sons 
knowledge equal to about the same, and four-fifths 
pure refinement (wisdom, understanding), Job 28:6, 
7, 8, produces perfect peace at home. 



io6 Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



And keep the twenty-fourth verse of the twentieth 
chapter, and you will then be ready to place your mind 
on the second blessings or understandings (An altar 
of earth thou shalt make). 

We then have seven hundred and forty-five million, 
two hundred and ninety-one thousand and six hundred 
multiplied by one hundred years' average. 

Fifty-six million needy men; and we would have 
thirteen thousand three hundred and eight dollars 
apiece for every cold, ragged child and poor, hungry 
mother and every old helpless grandmother in this 
United States, and have well educated, good children. 

And then, according to God's holy word, we would 
glorify God the Father, and have more splendid bless- 
ings than tongue could tell, and could realize the sec- 
ond keys of the kingdom of God. 

Now, my dear brother, some people will try to act 
as though they did not know that all chewing and 
spitting and smoking and dipping were lust, but they 
all well know that to be a fact. 

For God said that all fruit trees shall be cut down 
and cast into the fire that are not fit for food, and 
Christ says the ax is laid at the root of the trees and 
they shall be cut and cast into the fire. 

Not only of sappy trees, etc., but also the men who 
beguile unstable souls and cause his people to err. 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 107 



And we all know that any opiate, chew or smoke, 
that wars against or deceives the flesh or temple of 
God, is hist. 

And every prophet and apostle plainly points out 
that all who lust, lie or steal shall be cast out. 

Peter says, 1 114, "But as He which has called you 
is holy, because it is written, Be ye (all) holy, for I 
am holy." 

1st, 2:11: Dearly beloved, I beseech you, as 
strangers and pilgrims, abstain (quit) from; fleshy 
lusts which war against the soul. 

Eph. 4 122-4 : Put off the deceitful lust ; put on the 
new man (after God has created) and true holiness. 
Rev. 2-6, 15, 22-15. 



SALVATION EVERY HOUR. 

A perfect heart is always free from every stain of sin, 
But harlotry of all degrees will strive to bring you in. 
Salvation sought and freely kept, and is always fed, 
Will never fail to light the path and triumph o'er the 
dead. 

We mean the death that always tries to tempt you 
into lust, 

And force you by deceit and lies to trample down the 

just. . . 

If you have salvation free, temptation hath no power. 
Then my choice will ever be, Salvation every hour.

The fear of God is wisdom pure, worth more than finer 

gold; (Job 28). 
To understand, to sin no more, it is the lamb in Jesus' 

fold. 

Why should we live on earth in sin, 
And daily increase needs of this? 

While understanding brings us in 
Into a state of earthly bliss ? 

These thoughts of sin will never tempt ; 

Lust hath o'er you no power. 
From Satan's grasp you are exempt, 

The bread of life giveth power. 

The emeralds, the topaz, nor gold, nor rubies fine, 
Will we compare with a perfect life, in actions and

Chapter XXV. — The Principle of God's Law. 

We will first take the revolution of the earth to 
illustrate clearly what is real. It revolves once every 
day, the sun rising and setting in the same respective 
places each time. 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 109 



And the people of earth might make laws and 
unanimously vote the same, and call out the United 
States forces to change it, but God's law of that mo- 
tion would never stop. 

And just so with fire that burns; it will never 
change its fiery nature ; it will always consume every- 
thing that it has ever burned. 

And his law of the germinating power of all kinds 
of seeds and plants, and every other thing that God 
hath made, from the smallest insect to the tornadoes 
and volcanic eruptions of earth. 

And that only gives a very faint idea of His mag- 
nanimous power. 

iWe might go on and write the balance of our life, 
and then could not tell of His forces of action and 
laws. 

But that you may come to a conclusion of how im- 
possible it is for His laws to change, and how sure that 
the sinner will not escape hell, we will give one clear 
illustration of the channel of His eternal unvariable- 
ness. 

Now, to explain what love He hath, he uses David 
as His imag'e. He gives him many wives — one as 
lawful as the other, so far as man's laws were con- 
cerned. David, like God, loved one as well as the 
other at first, till they all proved only to be married 
but not wives according to God's eternal law. 



no Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



For they proved not to obey him. Some went after 
harlotry (Inst), and other concupiscence and bigotry; 
and he found out that he only got three wives out of 
his choice of three hundred. 

That is, they were pretty, and honored him with 
their lips, but their hearts were far from him. 

Now, we find that God lets the Church represent 
man's wife, so we can comprehend His feelings of 
perfectness. 

Now, have we got that per cent of church members 
who are not the lovers of God? 

But I will go back to the subject of the law. 

God gave one clear illustration in the history of 
Jacob, Leah and Rachel, which shows several of His 
phases of the law. In one example, the first we will 
use, is that when Jacob prayed to God and said that 
Laban had never paid him for his labor, and had 
changed his contract ten times, God told Jacob of one 
law that could not change. 

Jacob could not see any reason in it then, but 
accepted God for the truth and did go down and make 
the trade with his father-in-law, 

And drove the herds of cattle and flocks down to 
where he put straw in their clear water, and painted 
the posts of different colors, ist Sam. i-io-ii ; Jude 
I3-4-I4.

And that was God's opportunity to show all men 
for all time to come that whatsoever the mother prayed 
for or sought should forever set the character of her 
children. 

And that the only remedy for the curse was to burn 
the image with fire and beat it to cinders and let them 
all drink of it freely. 

He also taught the same lesson in the history of 
Ruth and Annie, and in Abraham, and Lot's wife, in 
Nathan, contemporary with Lot, and Samuel and John 
the Baptist, and Mary, the mother of Jesus, 

And in all ages of the world He gave a history of 
the different examples, repeating that law which is as 
sure to exist as the examples are alike. 

There was never another spotless, healthy beast 
born again where they had followed their customs 
(habit). Now here is the correct solution of that. 
Mormon customs, or plurality of wives, and habits of 
lust of the teeth. God had made many efforts to make 
the people understand that lust had been the destruc- 
tion of all his chosen people, and that one lust surely 
leads to all others, and the people acted so foolish that 
God decided to show Laban, the king — that it was a 
never-failing fact, and he took the dumb brutes of all 
kinds to prove the fact, at Laban's expense; so that 
all people could understand it. So that all nations may 
know that if an uneducated beast, kids, lambs, and 
cows would be cursed with marks and stripes without

an evil intention that all mankind who had reason and 
knowledge could certainly forever remember that it 
would forever curse all men to follow the same traits 
in life, that all would certainly amalgamate habits and 
customs, that high blooded fathers and refined moth- 
ers would cultivate sons and daughters to a higher 
standard. It has been a well known fact that culti- 
vated thing's of all kinds were much more valuable than 
wild or crude things of a kind. Now, it seems to me 
that history of all natural laws that was given to 
Laban and Jacob, which gave. Jacob all of the ringed, 
streaked and spotted increase which was all enough 
to warn all men to the end of the world that sure de- 
struction would follow lust. But that was in the brute 
creation, and after a while God gave an example in 
David, whose love was equal to God's, and gave him 
the love and protection of his country people, and 
made him very rich, and the people recognized him as 
their king, and they rejoiced in David making a selec- 
tion of three hundred of their daughters for wives, 
who he found beautiful to his choice, which he loved 
one as well as another of all that number of chosen 
women. He only got three lawful wives. And of all 
of their children there were only nine who were worthy 
of historical record, and God called for the death of 
seven of them to quiet or stay the plague of destruc- 
tion to all other men. And we only find two sons, 
Solomon and Jonathan, who were worthy of high re- 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 113 



nown, and they were the sons of the only mothers 
who were godly, i. e., (consecrated). Then that all 
men might bear records of the sorrows which would 
follow of intentional crime of the father or mother. 
Now, God made Solomon as wise as Himself and let 
Solomon have the love of all of the kingdom to pro- 
tect him, and Solomon went out and every woman 
which he found beautiful to his judgment, he made to 
love him by his kindness, and he married them, and 
yet there were only three hundred to the thousand 
that were worthy of coming into history, and only one 
who' was renowned as folowing his father's God, in 
all things (2nd Ch. 14-11, Isa. 710-716 B. C.). At 
this same date we had seven thousand more holy men 
of God who had not bowed their knee to Baal. 

I suppose that they must have been seed of Solomon 
and David, for that would have only been seven chil- 
dren apiece from each lawful mother. But history 
does not say so. But God does say that they were 
the seed of Abraham. But this is where the people 
get their view of culture. So you see an intentional 
mixture has to be repented of, hence, we find Christ 
as a mediator, to appease the wrath of God. 



Hozv May We Know That Our Child Will Be a 
Nazaritc or Not. 

The angel of God declared this to be a fact (1st 
Sam. 1:10-11, Judges 13:4-5-13-14).

Beware (wise and know). Do not take wine nor 
strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing (Ez. 49-9, 
Gen. 17-14-23) Joshua and circumcise them at eight 
clays old, and He shall be a Holy Child. The mother and 
the father shall covenant with God, and God will keep 
His covenant. (1st Kings 3-16-14, Micah 6-7). The 
fruits of your body shall pay for the sins of your soul ; 
that is, your temptations yielded to will curse your chil- 
dren, "and show whether they belong to God or Satan. 
"Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge. But 
he who hateth reproof is brutish," (Ch. 23-21). He 
that doubt eth (in the present now) is damned if he 
eats. The doubt is the true evidence that he knew 
better, i. e., (willful sin) (1st Cor. 3-16-17). Know 
ye not that ye are the temple of the living God, and 
the Spirit of God dwell in you? If any man defile 
his temple (body) God will destroy him, (Rev. 14-9, 
Prov. 34). 'Tis fools who mock at sin. Sin is a 
reproach to any people. 

Therefore, I say that all mothers should be made 
to teach their children this greatest law, for no child, 
girl nor man, can be competent to select their company 
till they do understand this great, never-failing law 
of God, that never dies. 

This law also shows us that the changes will al- 
ways be made according to the free, contrite prayers 
to God, for strength and favor. 1st Sam. 1- 10-28, 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 115 



Wherefore every living* human on earth ought to 
know that where the prayers are evil, the cultivated 
evils yield sometimes thirty and sixty and one hun- 
dred fold, the same as good deeds do. 

And thereby give more room for continual aspira- 
tion of mankind and peace with God. 

This is the fundamental point of the important part 
of baptism, a renewing of the living spirit, which 
brings us into a continued remembrance of that sacred 
covenant with God, in actions and evidence, in the 
presence of the assembly before you. 

That great reminder, immersion, buried with Christ 
by baptism unto death of all sins. 

Raised up in renewed life, this day living with a 
living spirit to lead the feet and body in the ways of 
all truth, thereby making it possible for our posterity 
to come in with us; otherwise, a curse to our. own 
blood. Oh, men, men, would you fail to be made 
new — your whole intent and daily walks — be baptized 
into death (of sins). 

Now comes the point of infant healing, or, as most 
people call it, infant baptism. 

Now, if you had a child that was little and very 
sick, would you feel like doing something for that 
little fellow to heal its awful sick condition ? 

Would you not be willing to promise God, or even 



n6 Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



your friend, that you would do something for it if you 

could? 

You have acknowledged that he was prone to evil. 

Shall we make an effort to give the little fellow the 
first remedy that God told Abraham to give to all at 
nine days of age, and all over that age, even to ninety- 
nine years old? 

Is this a sacred covenant with God, one of the most 
binding of all? 

For this is a promise to the child, in the presence 
of God and the audience, that you will never make 
your little fellow do unlawful things. 

Such as shoot people's stock, sell rotten eggs ; nor 
allow them to be cruel to or beat a neighbor's animal, 
and thereby harden their hearts and conscience. 

For as they grow older they naturally get further 
into crime, and it makes their repentance four, five, ten 
times as hard on them, and the fear is, that they may 
yet go so far down in the pit of Satan that they may 
never get able to bring forth their repentance. Ezk. 
44-9; G. 17-14; Josh 5-2. 

I expect that some of you mothers know that if 
your child has any hereditary disease the best time to 
heal that for life is before it is two weeks old — nine 
clays is the rule; natural lust, etc. 

The more you look into this, the more you will 
favor infant healing (sprinkling).

Now, in David we see that he was of the same heart 
of Abraham when he offered up Isaac to God. 

Now, when God told David that all these sheep (or 
people) would die of the plagues unless David gave up 
seven of his sons for an atonement. 

David fell to the ground and refused to eat or be 
comforted, and said that he would to God that he had 
died for Absalom, but with love to his country, for 
God's sake, did give up seven of his sons for a sacrifice. 

Now, if that does not show immeasurable love, I fail 
to understand what love for a country is. 

This represents family baptism in full, like God told 
Abraham, after he had got the second favor : "I know 
that he will command, his family now." 

Then we notice, after David's many sorrows, that 
his son Solomon became a king as wise as a god, and 
we notice very closely that Solomon walked with God. 

We will also notice here that God said the reason 
why David couldn't build the temple (of Solomon) 
was, he shed blood. 

But David's heart was always thirsty for God's 
love, and in his songs and supplications were where 
his success lay; he always trusted God in all things, 
and when he decided to do a thing he would take his 
decision to God in prayer. All of our good men and 
women today do the same thing.

To express the tenor of Samson's sorrows, we will 
use this subject to> illustrate it. Samson had the same 
sorrows that David had. Judges, 14. 

Delilah vexed his righteous soul, 

The clay he sinned, his soul it died ; 

She called another to behold, 

And shaved his head, yes, on both sides. 

He was a holy man from birth, 

He could not please the folks of earth. 

While he did serve the God of truth, 
His strength grew stronger, fine, 

But when he did a willful sin, 

And cast his pearls unto the swine, 

The devil got the sway within, 

And taught divine the law of sin. 

The fox although the swiftest beast, 

So cunning and so wise, 
Three hundred caught, to Samson please, 

To teach God's law, that never dies. 

The cunning man and cunning tales, 

When tried to get the right, 
Will always find your woes and weals, 

And give a radiant light.

The point in this — God cannot change 

His law to fit each case, 
But every man can change his way 

To get the perfect grace. 
This lesson shows, a house divided 

Is always sure to fall; 
The kings of earth, nor love provided, 

Cannot such sinners recall. 

And women can the country sway, 

In every land and clime; 
Destroy the man she wedded may, 

Her friends lost every time. 

They seek to gain their father's fame, 
And lust in ways of shame, 
And God himself will ne'er reclaim. 
No form of man who doeth the same. 



Chapter XXVI. — -Love of Light— Willful Sin. 

Now, we have many people who would often do 
right if they were not so often misled. John 8 :44-47. 
He that is of God (born) heareth (in present time) 
God's words. Ez. 22 :24~27. 

Paul says, When I would do good, evil is always 
present with me. Showing, if he did do evil, that it 
would certainly be intentional. Eph. 5:11. 



120 Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



They had no fellowship with darkness. Therefore 
all who are spiritually minded love light. 

Look at II. Cor. 5:21. God made Christ to die 
for sins, that we might learn the laws of light and live 
thereby in righteousness. John 3 15. 

You can see here that if you have the blood of 
Christ in you it will cleanse you from all sin. 

Now we will look at the picture of the brazen ser- 
pent. And just think a moment, that serpent was set 
up on a pole to warn the people; that the size of the 
serpent, a very large one, was a very scary object. 

And that here were small serpents in numbers 
where there were a few large ones; and it also sug- 
gests that the size of the sins of mankind was not the 
object, 

But that a small snake was a snake just the same as 
one of any size and that every time you got bit by a 
sin you would have to be healed. 

And if you were not healed at once from the 
thoughts of how large the sin would grow, that you 
would certainly die; 

That it would not take long for the poison of the 
intent to get the entire control of the mind. 

And to take a man right to where the big sin 
(serpent) was, for you to look at that; that would 
heal your desire to sin any more. 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 121 



But just as sure as you were too stubborn to rea- 
son and go where that inclination would lead, to that 
you certainly would perish without remedy. Rev. 
9-19. 

And the wicked people decided that that serpent 
represented Christ in faith, and are, some of them, 
teaching that the snake was a figure of Christ our 
Lord. 

Now how could a man be so sinful? Let us see 
how that would sound to God for me to change the 
benediction of baptism, and say, "Baptized into the 
Father, Snake and Holy Ghost" ? 

It is shameful for any man to pretend to teach God's 
word and be so foolish. 

Some will say that it was the faith in the serpent 
that did the healing, but I will tell you of a fact that 
it was the power of God to teach His people that God 
hath all power, and that we must fear Him. 

Christ had no features of the serpent in any form, 
but the forked-tongued man represents one very much. 

Now, we see the laws of God as being a rod of 
iron, that at all times occupies the same position and 
revolves, and every one that gets in the way of that 
rod gets the full force of its capacity. 

And next we use the flaming swords, which are at 
all times traveling at a rapid speed, and when we are 
warned we will stay out of the way of those blades, 



122 Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



but whenever we get under those blades we are cut the 
same as grass. 

But we know quite well that God's spirit is suffi- 
cient to guide all of His children. 



THE LAMB'S WIFE. 

The Church it is the perfect bride, and Christ He is the 
groom. 

The people are the trees of life, which always monthly 
bloom. 

She bears her fruit once every month, and sheds their 

leaves the sick to heal, 
And they who drink that crystal cup, the precious blood 

shall feel. 

The godly man, who follows Christ, will kindly coun- 
sel ever give, 

The bride will gladly tide her house, and twain as one 
together live. 

A bride for lack of bonds of love, divides the house 

and it shall fall. 
Rejoice today, the groom is here; sing praise in tones 

of bliss. 

When love is gone the bride will mourn in anguish 
over this. 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 123 



Rise up today in tender love, for all that's lost, the 

bride or groom, 
And cheer the hearts while here we live, and heal the 

broken wounds. 
The lawful bride had spotless robe, and smile for all 

her guests; 

And virgin pure, she praises God, and sings sweet 

songs of perfect rest. 
The trees of life, her fruit, are good, their fragrance 

balms the breeze; 
Their leaf is known in all the woods ; the broken hearts 

they will relieve. 

The bride hath joys when guests appear, in spotless 

robes adorned; 
With harps of gold, the notes so clear ; they heed when 

they are warned. 
The feast is spread, the waiters rise, their names are 

called in line. 

All aching hearts for loving ties are surely blessed 
with love divine. 



TEMPORAL SALVATION, GOD'S FIRST LAW. 
Jud. 6, Rev. 2-4-20-5-2 1- 1. 

And when you fulfill the required organic law and 
rejoice in its -principle, you are in a position to repent 
of all your violations and come to a true knowledge 



124 K c y t° th° Lost Treasures of the Bible 



of His free grace through faith, and rejoice in His 
good way of perfecting righteousness. 

As I have said in . another place in this book, the 
different histories of the Bible are to show plainly that 
God has always shown His righteous men how to lay 
up wealth and have food to help the poor in time of 
need. Pro. 8, 18, 10-4-22. 

Read about Moses; he was the meekest man whom 
we read of — he had such faith. He always followed 
the Spirit in all things. 

David did the same; he was also wealthy. Solo- 
man was also rich, yes, very rich. He -prayed for 
righteousness only, and he was the man to build the 
first temple. 

We notice that God had told them long ago that 
His house was the house of prayer, and his righteous 
people should build the temple (temples, of course). 

Now, we have the different histories to show that 
poverty does not keep an honest man out of Heaven, 
but that the Godly prophets who followed the Holy 
Spirit were His chosen people, and he always had pro- 
tected them and made them just as rich as they were 
worthy of. 

Now, in the first place, it is full of reason that if 
we raise enough cows and sheep and goats, etc., to 
have enough on hand at all times to give one to God 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 125 



as an offering every time we committed a trespass, or 
to give two oxen and five rams, five lambs, etc. (See 
Num. 7:83, I believe, and read for yourself), and 
they shall be raised without one spot or blemish, you 
know that you would have to have as many females 
and dwarfs, and spotted, which could be used at home 
for food, and you would certainly have enough milk 
and butter for your families, and some to lay away for 
the future. 

And if we have to rest on the Sabbath day, and do 
not cook anything, that we will not keep bad company 
on the seventh day. 

And there are two more features to this : If we 
must be ready for prayer every morning by the dawn 
of day, and all of the family at home dressed and 
washed for the baked lamb that was prepared the night 
before we will certainly learn to be diligent. 

And if we must not work any in the seventh year, 
we will certainly be very diligent and prayerful to God 
to make us enough to have plenty to keep our loved 
ones through the seventh year, and have enough al- 
ways for the good of the country. 

Then the preachers could have enough so that they 
could apply themselves to the good of the finance of 
the country and Godly living. For, if you notice, 
every prophet we have in history always understood 
the oppressions of the country and knew how to rev;- 



126 Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



ulate finance so that God's people could have earthly 
salvation and also eternal salvation. 

They would make rules and teach for the good of 
the equal finance of the people; which teetotal tem- 
perance is the mother of wealth and the father of the 
Spirit of God, and if you have the mother and the 
father in unity, and the concerted action of right for 
the motto of life, you have got the power of God unto 
salvation. 

Then you will always be benevolent to all people, 
and thereby get all of the servants that we would need 
to do our work for a little tobacco, snuff, whisky and 
cigarettes, and such other lusts as they used, and just 
enough bread and clothes, and a few good things to 
eat, and the servant is never greater than his Lord. 

God showed Joseph that the class of people who 
would not keep his commandments were the ones who 
would sell all that they had to live on for four years, 
and then sell themselves for slaves for bread to save 
their lives one more year. 

Look to page 97 of this book and see just how 
many millions of dollars' worth of filthy lust the people 
are burning up and spitting out on the ground every 
year; then calculate how long it would take to keep 
enough money at home to have all of the blessings that 
we would need and pay one-tenth to the Lord for the 
benefit of the morality of our country. • 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 127 



Common sense teaches us that if by diligence we 
have two oxen, five rams, five goats and five lambs, 
which are raised above spot or blemish, that we will 
certainly have some spotted, etc., and equally as many 
females for home use, and milk and butter, to put up 
for the future. 

And to take care of them all for seven years, and 
take care of all of the feed for the same length of time, 
it will be clear to anybody that prayer and patience 
must be causes of success. 

But it takes faith in God to- bear the proper amount 
of chastisements to produce charity (bond of perfect- 
ness), to exercise the patience and perseverance (stay 
in the way of truth) in humility, to retain that clear, 
calm mind and soul in all circumstances, to glorify 
the God of truth, which is the only God that can exe- 
cute power and perfectness. 

Now, if you have raised up your children to twenty- 
one years of age to be this diligent, to always be 
dressed and say their prayers, or vows, by the dawn 
of day, you will do a reasonable amount of work by 
the first watch of the night (9 at night), and eat their 
supper and sleep till time to prepare for dressing and 
morning vows (prayers), for another big day's work; 
you will certainly get used to it by the time you are 
twenty-one years old, and will always have a profusion 
of the necessities of life. 



128 Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



And no money power on earth could oppress yon 
in the least; no organized body under the sun could 
keep you from praising" and glorifying" God in the 
highest. 

''Then you could retain your soul and follow the 
supernal Spirit of God, and have an endless life with 
the God of Gods throughout ceaseless ages." 

And if all of our people were to do the same our 
courts would not have much to do — no time lost in law 
suits, no jail expenses, God's organic law fulfilled, few 
doctors' bills, no spitting — the saliva retained would 
act as a cathartic when needed, as an emetic in poisons, 
and as an elixir for the expansive tissues of the flesh, 
and as a liver and system replenisher. 

And another thing: When we are natural our vital 
system is susceptible to its natural needs, and when 
your vitality is drained off or the nerves lulled with 
narcotics, parched and dry till nature cannot rectify 
and invigorate the body by the natural alimentary 
functions of the body, you have to suffer all kinds of 
aches and pains, of head, back, etc. 

All kinds of disease originate from the violations 
of God's laws ; and therefore every family should study 
every line of this book carefully. Prov. 30-14. 

Now r , keep free from the grasp of doctors, and law 
suits, and lust, and from bad company, and from envy 
and strife of mind, and from willful sins, and cultivate 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 129 



a perfect heart, full of love, and you will really un- 
derstand why the cash dollars will remain at home. 

Now, as all lust is a daily imposition upon the appe- 
tite and the nerve as a controller (as the Lord says, 

Which wars against the soul — destroys the soul), we 
see that it costs but little each day, and all of the littles 
that can be sold for cash each day, to go to keep peace 
with Satan (for God is not in lust). 

Then, of course, the continual leak waste all of the 
first fruits of the ingatherings of God's blessings, 
which God says, "you shall not consume upon your- 
selves/' Deut. 18-4, Num. 18-12. 

And as lust is always first, the actual living, cloth- 
ing and preaching is very scant; and as the mental 
apparatus is in such a slighted predicament of mind, 
the sermons are apt to be dwarfs; like I heard a 
preacher say last summer, at Rhode's school house, 
that he himself was so badly neglected on one occasion 
that he was so hungry that after the landlady got 
through with her kitchen work and was on the front 
veranda he went back to the pantry (the preacher), 
and drank all of the sweet milk that he wanted out of 
her pantry; and he got a fine lot of church joiners at 
that place, too. 

And they thought that he was a good leader for 
them, and I truly suspect that he was the very one for 
them to follow, for he was a splendid speaker. But 



130 Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



when he would read the word of God, where it spoke 
of sanctification, he did not like for anybody to say 
amen. 

He said that it did not bother him much, but that 
most of the people could not bear the thoughts of 
sanctification, and so he continued to please them on 
mixed food till he got lots of people, who may come 
to a knowledge of the truth some day which, if they 
had not been fed mixed food, they would no doubt 
not have joined. 

Now, if you should wind the churches, cleanse the 
preachers, wash their hands and their feet in the brazen 
laver and pay them one-tenth of your earnings each 
year, you would probably have the clean Gospel taught, 
and when ministers mix sin and the Gospel together, 
just follow the Levites' remedy. Elijah killed 450 Je. 
preachers. Then we might have all the good things 
which Christ said, and our hearts would be capable of 
acting free in the execution of God's law. See the cal- 
culation on page 97. 

A great many people cannot understand why I 
knew three years previous to our financial clash that 
it was coming. Many have asked me in dismay how 
I got'it out of the Bible. My dear readers, the Bible 
teaches the principles which can not change. God 
says He cannot change. Xow if we people have acted 
in such a way that we have to make government bonds 
to borrow money from other nations, on sixteen years' 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 131 



time, and at 4 per cent, we well know that there must 
be something wrong. 

And when we turn to the Ten Commandments we 
made the calculation on the first one and found that 
there were two billion seven hundred millions of our 
cash thrown away every year. Next, see that you shall 
put more faith in God than in man. We next see that 
God says that the rust on your money will be a wit- 
ness against you in judgment. 

We then think £ast and we easily understand that 
you pay cash to life insurance companies, and to dip 
for Teddy bears, molten images of many different kinds 
that are not worth a cent more than the brazen serpent 
was worth. 

And God plainly showed all of the prophets and 
people that there was equally as much good in a brass 
snake as there was in a molten image or dead offering, 
or faith in the man who had no works. 

So we take the actual tenor of the law ; we take and 
calculate the cash that was spent for things that were 
not of any value to anybody, and add the lost time to 
it, while those men were preparing nonsense for us, and 
that is the actual damage in money. 

But there is hindered time in partaking of such 
lust, which also is a great curse to all families who 
engage in such. And all of that combined only rep- 
resents the actual mental damage. 



132 Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



We next took the court costs for the previous year, 
which were reported to be $865,625, which was not 
lost, but only changed hands, but those men were los- 
ing time and paying expenses, and there were at least 
three men hindered to every one needed in the case, 
which, when you calculate it true, you have three 
times the above damage. 

We see at once that those wealthy people cannot 
afford to let us burn up and spit out upon the ground 
all of that cash, unless we will sell our lands and homes 

to pay for it with. See the chapter on wealth, page 

Deut. 27th and 28th chapters, and Job, 22nd chapter. 

Chapter XXVII. — Finance. 

Now, as it is impossible for a man and his family to 
come to a knowledge of truth without some training 
and education, and as wisdom is justified of her people. 

Now, it becomes absolutely necessary to take up 
the question of finance, to prepare the mind to under- 
stand why God gave two works of grace and said that 
if you did not keep the first, neither should you have 
the second. 

Now, you know very well that if you drink up your 
money and hard earnings, or burn it up in a pipe, or 
spit it out on the ground, that you will certainly need 
some other things. 

Now if you have nothing to fix for church, how 
can you hear the Gospel ? 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 133 



And if you have got nothing* over, how can you 
school your children? 

And if they do not get any training, how can they 
he moral; how can they he Godly? 

Now, how can they have the spirit of God without 
that knoweclge? 

Thus arises, "If ignorance is bliss, it were folly to 
he wise." Therefore God makes it imperative to lay 
up something, that we may provide for the poor in 
time of need. 

Look to the forty-seventh chapter of Genesis, and 
see that God actually makes man to house in property 
to take care of the servants, for all who waste their 
means will never be much but servants for those who 
have caught the fever first from them who lust, will 
never reach any higher than their lust requires. Gen. 
9-25 ; Josh. 9-23. 

Now Moses was blessed with a sufficient amount of 
property to drive up several thousand dollars' worth. 

And Abraham had several thousand dollars' worth 
when he and Lot divided lands. 

The Bible teaches how to obtain wealth. Prov. 10- 
4, 18-18, 3-16; Ps. 1 12-3; Josh. 22-8. 

Now turn to the forty-seventh chapter and twelfth 
verse of Genesis and we see that God revealed to 
Joseph. how to treat all mankind and glorify God, and 
thereby gain great wealth for God's sake.

First, when you find that you have been sold to 
any unrighteousness, be very God-serving until you 
find out all about the ways or the customs of those 
who follow that trait. 

Be first worthy of the utmost confidence of all who 
are at the head^of the (financial) government. 

Then, be always ready to render any assistance nec- 
esary to prove your worthiness. 

There are always good men in every country, who 
need good trusty foremen to oversee the finance, and 
no one is competent to plan for business unless they 
have first served the trade. 

To thoroughly economize and arrange its func- 
tions. 

Now, after watching where all of the unnecessary 
waste goes, you can know exactly where to gather the 
golden sheaves. 

Now, in the twelfth verse we see that Joseph's love 
was worthy to be noted. He obtained a home for his 
father and brothers and cousins, etc. 

Now, the Spirit of God directed his observation to 
one forever unchangeable fact, that is, that the very 
ones who would not build shelter and take care of 
God's blessings would be the very ones who would sell 
all of their cash for the first year's lust. 

And the spirit also directed him to at all times place 
a price upon his goods, to buy out every horse and 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 135 



cow, and everything else, and that they even sell their 
homes for such, and that at last they would even make 
slaves of themselves, rather than put their faith in 
God and live as God required. 

'Tis a never-failing fact that men who will not honor 
Godly living, will follow after the things of the flesh 
until the very last cent is gone, and make slaves 
of themselves and their children. Ps. 14-53. 

Then, this is the only correct solution, i. e., locate 
in their midst, be Godly and honest, notice their de- 
fects and keep a good supply of their lust, and they are 
just as sure to sell their wealth to you as they are to 
follow two masters. 

And as God is not in lust, it is bound to be Satan, 
for we have but two masters, or rulers, and those who 
do not follow one, follow the other. 

Now, some think that because such things keep 
them quiet that it is good for them. If that were so, 
it would be good for a man to keep asleep. 

It is the man with an active brain and body who is 
capable of pleasing God. 

He wants a man to follow that active spirit which 
keeps him ever ready on the spur of the moment to 
act upon all reasonable questions. 

If you want to gain wealth, just get acquainted with 
the God of love, and put your faith in Him, knowing 



136 Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



that if you keep His commands you will live temperate 
in all things. 

And as temperance is a body builder, you will not 
need any doctor's visits, for when you get sick of any 
disease, remove the cause of action and let organism 
replace the natural needs for the support of the vital 
system. 

Did you know that those who spit off the saliva 
from the mouth are spitting off the active vitality of 
God's temple? 

"You shall not pollute the temple of God." See 
that all things (meaning men, women and children) 
shall be made after the pattern. Ex. 25 :i-o,. 

Then we should imitate the pattern of Jesus Christ 
in every path of life. 

(Romans 3-14)- Then we should imitate Christ. 
Now if you will go to the reservation for reprobates 
(Isa. 10-7, 2nd Pet. 2-4, 3-7). Reserve for the fire; 
Num. 18-9, Judges 6-13. Any large city like Houston, 
Dallas, Chicago, Atlanta, and just watch the maniacs 
who were once good people, who began one or two 
smokes, chews, or dips each day, and drifted lower and 
lower each day; some seem to fall at once, and others 
kept it up for years. But they all fell to shame and 
poverty and disrepute too bad to even look upon, and 
so low that we should be humiliated for our sons to 
even look at for a moment. But I feel that it will act 
in the place of the brass snake upon the pole to warn 



Key to the Lost Treasurers of the Bible 137 



my children that one dip, one chew, one drink, will 
grow to be a full-grown maniac in quite a short time, 
for all who go in mixed crowds fell lusting, and all 
who go so low as to try to kill their best friend have 
already lost that refinement, and another thought, 
there is but a few who practice any of these opiates of 
lust that do not curse at times. When disappoint- 
ments arise from the fact that, the habit is the quietus 
for the mind and cannot dwell in the love of God. Psa. 
62-4, Deut. 11-26. And as God is always absent when 
the mind is on lust then Satan's service is the first one 
called upon when disappointments are present. There- 
fore, the Apostles and the prophets say their feet are 
swift to shed blood, whose mouth is near unto curs- 
ing. That was the same in the days of David, and 
Isaiah, and Paul, and James and in this day, or else 
God would be changeable. All the wicked shall go 
away into everlasting punishment, i. e., God is in the 
generation of the righteous. God knows how to de- 
liver the righteous out of temptation (keep them 
away). Praise God. Do you belong to that band? 
Bound to the right things with all your heart. If 
you are you can rejoice for God pledges Himself to 
His loved ones. God loves all who love Him. His 
righteous ones, he will never forsake. 

If I wished to gain an angel, I would feed her fair 
daughter with the most wholesome cereals and the 
wild honey of the forest. 



138 Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



If I could express the fullness of my heart to the 
wayward souls of earth, I would raise my voice to a 
mellow key, and with the windows of my soul let the 
light shine in their faces; that would speak louder than 
words ; 

And with a mellow, penetrating approach I would 
let the index of my heart penetrate the very depths of 
the innocence of their souls. 

And as my heart caught the waves of the most re- 
ciprocal favor, I would calmly feed them of the dews 
of Heaven, 

And be quiet as a lamb, and only seek to be kinder 
to the wayward, for God's sake. 

The tender cares of a loving heart will tame the 
wildest beast, but God only can quiet a disloyal tongue. 

The smooth, mellow notes of the songs of man will 
tame and subdue many dark hours of a wearied life. 

Now, the most elevating word which man can speak, 
which elevates mankind above all gloom, and to the 
superb, ruling plains of life, to lead man to a perfect 
throne of grace, is Love. 

The tender buds of perfect love, 

When warm and tender care conveyed, 
Will richly grow, and bud and bloom, 
And richly- yield a sweet perfume. 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 139 



My soul it is the tree of life 

And faith it giveth food 
And hopes for good and perfectness 

Supplies abundant charity that worketh every 
good. 

My soul sets all the landmarks height 

To make a home that's sweet. 
A contrite heart supplies the sap 

To make it yes complete. 



Chapter XXVIII.— Love. 

When we undertake to explain the great love of 
God, we must first be filled with it. 

Now it is not every one that can say the word, Love, 
that knows the meaning of it. 

In the beginning, God was love, He is love now, 
and will be in the land of eternity. 

We see clearly that when God made this beautiful 
world of ours, love reigned supremely in the Garden 
of Eden till sin came. 

And when the fall of man came, that was to show 
us that we could separate ourselves from this great 
love if we preferred to. 

The God who made all things is love, with an un- 
changeable love. To prove this, we can go all through 



140 Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



the blessed word of God. They lived and rejoiced in 
the sunlight of His great love. 

Jesus says, "If ye love me, ye will keep my com- 
mandments," and keeping the commandments of the 
meek and lowly Nazarene means that we have kept 
that divine love. 

If we have a God-given love we ought to want .the 
three worlds to know it. First, we ought to want 
Heaven to know it ; second, we ought to want Hell to 
know it; third, we ought to want this great world to 
know that the great love of God shines around us daily 
and hourly. 

And if we in the midst of love are filled with the 
same, why can't we be like Christ, and love our 
Father's work? 

Jesus said, Love thy neighbor as thyself. How 
few can say that in this day and time and tell the 
truth. 

When we can love those that misuse us, and pray 
for those who spread nets for us, we are walking in 
the straight and narrow path. 

When we say we are filled with the love of God, it 
means that we love just what God loves, and that we 
will put forth every effort to spread this love. 

By faithful prayer we can daily live in our Savior's 
love. 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 141 



The idea is, why will men and women, when they 
have once tasted of the love of God, want to change ? 

Yes, I say change, for it is the people who change, 
and not God. Then, if we change, how can we expect 
this great chain of love to ever reach the ends of the 
earth ? 

God wants the men and women who love Him 
strong enough to go through the fiery furnace or in 
the lion's den. 

If we expect to get home to Heaven, we must first 
learn in this life to love things pertaining to the king- 
dom of God. 

Now, God is our loving Heavenly Father. He was 
wise and good enough to create this world and every- 
thing in it. 

He, in His divine wisdom and mercy, is certainly 
able to teach us love, and watch over us during the 
few short years that are passing swifter than the 
weaver's shuttle. 

Yes, I say, let God graft you in the vine, and you 
be content to be a branch. 

Some people in this life think because Jesus said 
He loved them, that they ought to have an easier time 
than Jesus Himself. 

Men and women are not turning this old world, 
and on the glorious resurrection morning they will 
find it out. 



142 Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



That never-closing eye from the courts of eternal 
glory, that sees and knows the hearts of all knows 
who it is that loves Him. 

"By their fruits ye shall know them.' ' 

We must first love a thing before we can do it. 

For illustration, we take the mother and her darling 
babe. In the great and trying hours of sorrow and 
trouble, she still loves her babe. 

All may turn from her and her earthly treasure, but 
she will stand by him, or her, all through the chill- 
ing blasts of life. 

As long as the child loves mother and respects her, 
the mother will stand by her child. 

So it is with the God of love. He will bear long 
with us and give us every chance to become fully ac- 
quainted with His ways. 

God is a reasonable God, and He gives men and 
women a chance to find Him out. 

One beautiful thing about the love of God is, it will 
bear the record of itself. 

Things will be accomplished through the great love 
of God when all earthly power will fail. It has been 
proved time after time. 

How many of us stop to think of the great love 
God had for His people when He gave his only be- 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 143 



gotten Son to be nailed to the rugged cross for our 
sins. 

Is that enough for us to want to pray for our eyes 
to be spiritually opened wider and wider each day? 

Oh, if we could say, I will be to Jesus what He has 
been to me. Or say, I will love Jesus as He loves me. 

"God so loved the world that He gave His only be- 
gotten Son." God so loved us that He wanted us 
separated from the evil of this world. 

He so loved us that Jesus has gone ahead to pre- 
pare mansions for those who love Him. 

It seems that every creature would want to be with 
God in this world and in the world to come. 

Even animals love those who are kind to them. 
And man gets lower than animals, for he knows the 
Father of Love is kind and good to prepare the many 
sweet blessings in this life and in the world to come. 

Dear, dying sinners, plunge your weary souls be- 
neath this fountain of love that is freely flowing for 
you, and come out a new creature in Christ. 

And through the great Savior's love, which lias 
been planted in you, lead lost souls on to the great love 
which brought you safely through. 

If this Godly love can change you, why not strive 
to get some one else changed ? 



144 Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



If you find you cannot live without this love of 
God within, can your friend ? 

We are all flesh quickened by the Spirit of God, and 
the spirit of love is the right spirit every one must 
have to ever get home to Heaven. 

Love is the golden chain from earth to Heaven. 

How to create love is to be pure. Love is pure. 
And we will take for an illustration, the Songs of 
Solomon. 

If we read carefully, we find no spot or blemish 
concerning this wonderful portion of Holy Scripture. 

First, the Church as a whole represents Christ, and 
God says it must be pure. Then if the holy Church 
of God is pure love, why shouldn't it have a great 
power to draw the poor, trembling sinner to its shelter- 
ing tower. 

Then, men and women as individuals should be so 
filled with the love of God that people coming in 
contact with them could tell that what they possessed 
was not in the hearts of all. 

If we have a God-given love, we can have such a 
wonderful power. People will want to be like us. For 
the apostle Paul says, I can do all things through 
Christ. 

If we have flowing from our hearts rivers of love, it 
will surely catch as we come in contact with others. 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 145 



As we continue in one faithful life to God, ever 
ready at His command, never faltering, no matter how 
strong the battle may be, but say He is Right and He 
is Love, and with this assurance we can never fail. 

If our faithfulness, purity and sincerity can cause 
God to love us, why won't others love us as God does ? 



Chapter XXIX. — Love in the Cliffs. 

Now, that we may gather a faint idea of God's 
love, we will use Solomon's paragraph, "Oh, my dove, 
that art in the cliffs of the rocks, in the secret places 
of the straits, let me see thy countenance, let me hear 
thy voice ; for sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance 
is comely." 

In the second chapter of Deut. you will see that if 
you see your neighbor's ox or beast going astray, you 
will restore it back to' that neighbor, and if you do not 
know whose it is, that you will take care of it till you 
find out whose it is, and then restore it. 

Now, that is perfectly plain. Your neighbor's child 
is as near to the man as a beast. 

We all know full well that the greater the prize, 
the greater the appreciation for its restoration. 

Now listen, if I were to find you in your house sick 
or with many cares to look after, and you had always 
given .me water and bread for my family and myself, 



146 Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



and I should agree to bring- back your lost child to 
your home and you will send me after him, anxiously 
awaiting our return, you knowing that I had found 
him, and hide him out in a hovel or saloon, and 
when I come home fail to get him whole — had cut off 
one hand or one leg, or had blinded his eyes — what 
would you say ? 

Would you pay me for such work as that? And 
then me come up with a falsehood and tell you that 
you did not pay me enough for the trouble ; 

I say would you let me live in your house' any 
longer, with the balance of your little children, and 
risk me leading them down in some dark corner and 
maiming them too — leading your little loved ones off 
into endless sorrow? 

No way to get their eyes back — blind — lost by 
your carelessness. 

No wonder that God reserves such people in chains 
of darkness forever, so they cannot mislead the good 
people of earth. 

No, God will have you bring every sheaf up to 
judgment, soul and body forever. 

Or you shall be forever cut off. The soul must be 
a whole one. 

When you go into the presence of God and the 
holy angels, and blush in their presence, you will cry 
out for the mountains to fall on you. 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 147 



Now, if we are so full of crime that we cannot tes- 
tify for Christ Jesus here in the presence of our com- 
mon people, that is an evidence that we cannot face 
the good morals of this life, and we know our own 
guilt. 

Then God says, "If your own hearts condemn you, 
how much greater is God than your heart?" 

Then what? Do you want to be forever lost? 

Then let us think a clear, deep thought of cold 
common sense. 

What is meant by, Cultivate a perfect heart in all 
things ? 

Let us look one more time at another place. We 
want our soul to not be maimed in the presence of 
God. 

Now, forgiveness of transgressions is the remedy 
for this heart. First, remember that a perfect heart 
from guilt may have a forlorn eye, but it has the index 
of innocence. 

Now, when God sees fit to chastise you by the hand 
of a wicked man, just forgive the man and let God 
have the glory, and keep your own soul free. 

For how sad you are, how miserable do you feel, 
when you meet people whom you hate! The more 
hates you have in a day, the worse you feel at night, 
and for several days. 



148 Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



Then your physical mind is not competent to make 
proper progress in this life, and you have only the 
more things to feel bad over. 

Hence the more sorrows that we entertain, the 
further away from temporal success it throws us, and 
that sets eternal life still more difficult for us to obtain. 

Then what is it worth to me for me to cure myself 
by hating some other defect or failure God hath a use 
for to blaze out a path for one of His people, to use 
for a stepping stone to something higher. 

Now let us consider for a few moments the light 
side of life. How happy we feel when we meet people 
all day long whom we love! Their very footsteps, 
their voices and conversations are sweet. 

Now, if the balance of life was this pleasant, it 
would be a perfect life ; one day of this kind is worth 
more than ten thousand miserable days are worth, ten 
thousand less than one miserable day. 

Then if this is correct, which it is bound to be, why 
not forgive every mean man upon the spur of the 
moment, and let the laws of the country execute judg- 
ment, and retain your own integrity, and make a good 
living, and retain a perfect heart of grace. 

This is retaining your soul and living holy, and no 
other life is worth living at all. 

Now look to 2nd Chronicles, twentieth chapter, and 
we see that when Judah and all of the inhabitants of 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 149 



Jerusalem bowed their heads to God in holiness, that 
God fought their battles for them, and they did not 
do anything but obey God and sing hymns of holiness 
to the Lord, and sang the beauty of holiness. 

And the whole country turned against themselves, 
and destroyed every one that was against the right- 
eousness of God. 2nd Chron. 20:21. 

And he walked in the ways of his father, in right- 
eousness in the sight of the Lord. 2nd Chron. 20:5, 
And said unto them, Hear ye me, Levites, sanctify 
yourselves and sanctify the house of the Lord God of 
your fathers, and carry forth the filthiness out of the 
holy place. 

Read all of the chapter and see that holiness, 726 
years before Christ anyway, glorified God. 

And it glorified Him in Jael and Deborah and 
Barek. 

The whole force is produced by allowing the whole 
mind, heart and soul to be combined in one force of 
actions, and then the Spirit of God hath co-operation, 
coupled with His power, which produces effect. 

And God will never forsake them that abideth in 
His love. 

That was the- case from the earliest history of God's 
people, and we have herein provided a short summary 
of the repeated facts, showing the date of each lead- 
ing feature, and showing that God always prepared 



150 Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



some who would sanctify to His will, and that all who 
did were the force of action. 

Sometimes they were contemporary with others, 
and sometimes they stood alone, with only the God 
of Jacob to propel the battle, although they always did 
according to that never-failing principle that we first 
set out to show. 

The power of God is unto (into) salvation to all 
them that do His commands (right) of a free choice. 
See Lev. 11:21-23. He shall eat the bread of God, 
holy and most holy, but if he has blemishes or spots, 
or maimed in any way, he shall not stand before the 
people, but shall be returned to the camp (i. e., if he 
has any doubts, or no faith in God, or not enough to 
show by his daily conduct.) 



Chapter XXX. — Continual Faith. 

Now, we will take faith for the purpose of ex- 
plaining God's crimson line from one side of the world 
to the other, or from everlasting to everlasting, to 
show to all men that we ought to cultivate more faith. 

That plumb line that Joel saw, the same ladder that 
Jacob used to mount higher, which even gave him 
foothold to perfect that perfect understanding which 
all men should be in full possession of. 

First take Noah, and see that he was so full of 
faith, believing the Spirit dictated him what to do, that 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 15 r 



he continued to make a living for his family and toiled 
for means to build the ark, and the people, the best 
friends he had, would come to him and persuade him 
that he was beside himself. 

And that God would never send any rain, for they 
had never seen any rain fall from the skies, and it did 
not look reasonable. 

But he continued to labor in faith, and God blessed 
him so much he made a very large water-tight house 
in which to baptize his family. 1st. Pet. 3:21. 

In like figure doth baptism now save you. And 
there were many who died and passed away, but 
Noath's faith caused him to continue to consecrate him- 
self and sanctified his spirit to commune with God. 

Which gave him faith to spend all of his labor for 
God's sake for one hundred and twenty years. 

Who of you can have faith enough in God to even 
hold out faithful long enough to pass the first plug of 
tobacco, or barroom, to go> on to church and spend 
fifty cents for the Gospel of Jesus Christ? 

Or to pay the preacher's way to the next town, or 
church, for God's sake? 

How many of you today will have faith enough in 
God to sacrifice one week's labor to build up the cause 
of Christ? 

What is the matter? Is it because God has changed, 
or is it because the preachers are all rich? 



152 Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



What is the reason then? It is because your own 
heart condemns you. You know you have forsaken 
God in all His ways, and your spirit and Satan both 
are against the cultivation of a perfect heart for God's 
sake. 

■Why, you have not got as much faith in God as 
you have in your neighbor. 

If your neighbor was to tell you that your cow or 
your calf was down sick, you would go and doctor that 
beast any Sunday, and maybe you would in the week 
day. 

But you know that God tells you every day that 
your child is going astray, and will not only die but go 
to hell forever, 

And you will not even go to Sabbath school with 
your children, for fear that one of the devil's best 
friends will laugh at you for being a hypocrite. 

Have you got any faith in God? No, not much. 
Why are you afraid of one of the devil's best friends? 
You are not of course much afraid of him, but you 
know that he may watch you a little closer if you 
ever get over the hill of Gerizim. (Holiness). 

But I tell you I have got enough faith in God to 
stand on Gerizim and let all of Ebal watch God's 
people. (Cursing). 

The closer God's people are watched the better God 
likes it. People watch you just as close as possible. 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 153 



God says that it always takes the fine artificers of 
gold and silver to know how to make the ark of God, 
and the golden vessels, but the righteous know how 
to keep them filled with the holy bread. 

But the people who are full of faith can feast on 
the overflowing pots of manna. 

But we cannot get into the holiest after we walk 
out wilfully. 



Chapter XXXI. — Another One From Gerizim 
Who Has Faith. 

Timothy tells us in Heb. 11 :i that "Faith is the 
substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things 
not seen." Now, we plainly see that faith is a spiritual 
guide. 

We can't see faith, but we can see the fruits of 
faith. 

Because in this same chapter we find that the grand 
old prophets of God received divine blessing through 
their faithfulness. 

Adam would no doubt have given up after his fall 
if it had not been for the faith he had in God. 

The reason people have faith is because God is all 
power in Heaven and earth. 

Then knowing all this, we believe through faith we 
can reach His promises. 



154 Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



Noah proved it by his long continued work on the 
ark. Long suffering, patience, not murmuring at the 
will of God, is faith. 

You show by being led by the Spirit that you are 
partly faith, and that you believe in what God hath 
said. 

The reason men and women fail in this life, is lack 
of faith. If they had faith in God, they would ask 
for the baptism of the Holy Ghost, but without faith 
they will never reach the blessings of our father 
Abraham. 

Men and women in 1910 won't read God's word 
because they have failed to have faith. They believe 
that it is not true, and therefore they fail to read it. 

Job was a wonderful character indeed. He says : 
"Though He slay me, yet I will trust Him," 

You see this character in Job brings out another 
feature in faith. 

Job was unselfish. 

He was not thinking of his old body; he was filled 
with faith; he knew that God had his soul, and that 
is what our beloved people of today want to know, so 
they can spread this glorious Gospel of ours. 

Have we faith enough to believe that if we put 
ourselves in the hands of God, He will sojourn with us 
in the land of promise ? 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 155 



God help us to lead men and women in the narrow 
path of faith. 

We in temporal things would never accomplish any- 
thing in this life without faith. 

God help the erring children. We pray for faith 
that will carry them through this world and the one 
to come. 

Now comes the great dividing line. 

There are two sides to this. 

We have already shown the right side. 

God is the great dividing line and the right side. 

On the other side we see that men and women have 
faith in the devil, without any promise. 

We have clearly seen that God rewarded the faith- 
ful, as He had promised, and the devil has made no 
promises. 

But all the same he will surprise his friends with a 
lake of fire and brimstone. 

Men women, boys and girls, have faith no longer 
in things that will perish with the old body. 

There is pleasure in sin for awhile to some, but it 
fades away, and the devil has no sweet place prepared 
for your weary soul. 

But on the other hand, if your old body suffers for 
Jesus in this life, he has a sweet haven of rest. 



156 Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



Oh, that men and women would turn God's mirror 
upon themselves and see where they stand. 

People have proved that they have faith in the devil, 
for they stand up for all of his works, and at any 
moment rush to arms for him. 

When I have faith in the devil, it will be when God 
turns things over to him, and you see that is impossible. 

So it is impossible for the children of God to have 
faith in the devil. 

Men and women practice what they believe, so if 
you want people to know you are out and out for God, 
practice having faith in what He has said, for God 
cannot lie. 

BELIEVE. 

(Psa. 78-22, No. 14-11). Every man will act daily 
upon what he really believes (Acts 13-39, Romans 
1 -1 6, Rev. 3-10). iWe know that when you believe a 
fire will burn your flesh, you will make every effort 
to keep out of that fire ; and when you believe that a 
blade or a saw will cut your foot off, you will certainly 
keep out of the way of it. Just so with your daily con- 
duct. If you believe that God is all power and know 
and love all good, and condemn all mean things, you 
will certainly not act mean. If you believe you have a 
soul you certainly will not allow your monetary pleas- 
ures and desires to create the flames of hell to burn that 
soul forever. When God tells you that your own free 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 157 



will hath preeminence and that you may choose all 
good and you and your seed will have everlasting life, 
or you may go the evil way and be forever lost in the 
furnace or lake of fire, God has forewarned us and 
we can take and act according to our belief (1st. Sam. 
2-9). If we believe that God hath the truth and is 
the truth, we will seek for that joy. If we believe 
that God hath lied we will continue in sin (death). 
If we believe that the time to repent is with God 
(today) that is the very day you know the difference 
of good and evil, you will certainly seek repentance 
at once. If you do not believe it, you will postpone 
it till you do believe it. If your preacher believes that 
God lies, he will follow the practice of sins and teach 
the people so — but we — who believe God is truth will 
keep this law, and love Him, and love His good law, 
and will not try to dodge any of it. We are happy to 
accept every word of it for God has given all to His 
own so that every one may shun every evil thing in 
this life and rejoice in His mercy, and wisdom, and 
those who take pleasure in sin are on the other side. 
Matt. 15-9, Mark 7-6, Isa., Psa., Proverbs. 



THE CONSECRATED LOVE OF GOD. 

It sanctifies the soul 

The Holy Ghost alights the path 
And gives the will of man control. 



158 Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



That charity, that bond of love 

The Spirit sure to find 
It searches out the deepest things 

Of God, and evil minds. 

The Holy Ghost, it is alive 

The Holy Spirit, it is the same — 

It leads the man of God along- — 
But not the man of fame. 

This is what it did for Mose, 
The same for Sam and Christ. 

It shows the way to live on earth 
To have eternal life. 

At Pentecost the Spirit came, 

The Holy Spirit and Ghost 
And gave the tongues the meaning same 

And led that mighty host. 

The Holy Ghost of danger warns 

And keeps the mind content 
It feeds the man when food is far 

And keeps us onward bent. 

It cheers the heart when foes arise 
And keeps us meek and brave ; 

It shines the light of Paradise 
And try to sinners save. 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 159 



The Holy Ghost was always dead 

To all who could not keep 
The laws of God, the bride he wed, 

And feel that Christ is meek. 

I praise my God, the Ghost, the Power, 

My daily prayer I seek, 
To dwell with me each day and hour, 

With me, yes, every week. 

The Spirit of God searcheth out all things. 

Then we who have His spirit and walk in it will 
certainly execute all things to the most noble cause. 

In the beginning, when men could not read or write, 
it took a long time to make much progress. 

But people who walked in the Spirit and conse- 
crated their minds to God were all lively stones for 
God, and set a light for us to follow, as Enoch, Elijah, 
Samuel and Elisha, whose grave would raise the dead, 
when the dead were buried in it. 

And this Spirit led on and upward. 

And the people got to where they knew how to 
control steam and make locomotives, and then to con- 
trol electricity, one of God's greatest forces. 

And higher and higher, till we now can collect the 
voice of man and retain it for centuries, and after they 



160 Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



have been dead for a thousand years, actually hear 
their voices as natural as when they spoke it. 

This is proof that everything is in the present with 
God, from everlasting to everlasting. 

Some may say, This is knowledge. And so it is, 
but that had to be obtained and handed down from one 
generation to the other till we can do many more won- 
derful things than this. 



HOW TO READ THE BIBLE TO CORRECTLY 
UNDERSTAND IT. 

First, get a clear conception of an unchangeable law. 
God cannot change. Too, that there cannot exist but 
two elements — that is, right on one side and wrong 
on the other. Draw a line : 

RIGHT WRONG 

LOVE HATE 

TRUTH LIE 

CHANGEABLE UNCHANGEABLE 

HOLY , UNHOLY 

Then take up your Bible and read each chapter 
(perfectly passive), knowing at all times that what 
God directed His prophets to tell and show was per- 
fect truth, to show the light to all people; taking the 
dates of each transpiring event, to show how often God 
sent His servants to teach that His law did not vary, 



Key to the Lost Treasures of- the Bible 161 



and that all who followed like habits come to a like 
destination. 

And showing that the ignorant and the wise were 
also subject to a like fate. 

Showing that men's ruling did not affect God's law 
any at all, but the wise would understand the cause of 
his misery, and the ignorant would have the same 
misery without knowing so well the whole cause. 

When you read the Bible, mark every verse which 
seems very plain with a slur, and all which seems to 
cross, with a reverse mark. 

And read each consecutive book of the Old Bible, 
each in its order, not skipping any at all. 

Leave off the New Testament till you read the Old 
Bible through twice, and you will clearly understand 
the New and Old when you read the New Testament. 

Remembering that at all times, in every country, it 
took different expressions to convey the very same 
idea, and as the people would advance in language, 
they could also convey the tenor of the law — Love, 
Light and Truth, and unchangeable holiness, i. e., 
charity, the bond of perfectness.

ROB GOD. Mai. 3:8; 2nd Cor. 11:8. 
I. ' 

I have a world with a million stars that's fine and fair. 
There's a radiant mind in man everywhere. 
They do fall in sin and lust; rob me, yes, and cheat 
the just ; 

Turn my blessings into curses ; shut their eyes, not 
in prayer. 

II. 

I have a home for all of them, I have made, 
When your Master calls for them, they will fade. 
They forget my law is just; rob me, yes, and cheat 
the just. 

I'll turn their sinning into blood ; thou shalt have no 
other God. Praise for aye. 

III. 

I have a glory in the man, just and fair, 
When my Spirit in the land, is fed in prayer, 
They shall pray to me each day, do the law and noth- 
ing worse. 

To the lamb go every day feed the lamb, in all I say. 
every day.

IV. 

I am coming to thy fold ; meet me there ; 
My deeds shall be as perfect gold ; keep my prayer. 
I shall never rob my God; I will work with Moses' 
rod ; 

Turn my sinning into good ; meet me, brother, meet 
me there. Praise the Lord. 

V. 

Meet me with the rod so straight, that rod so firm and 
so great. 

'Twill rend the rocks and stop the waves ; 'twill turn 

the wicked into sheaves. 
With every stroke divide the stream, to let the low run 

lowering, 

And keep yourselves upon the waves of crystal streams 
a-flowing. 

VI. 

Aye, when the crystal floods of love overflows my 

heart with anguish, 
I'll only have to raise above, and seize all those that's 

famished. 

And when we've saved the heaping sheaves, angels 

will praise the Lord and sing. 
The sweetest zephyrs then we will have, and rise on 

holy angel wings. 

Meet me, sister, meet me there.

Chapter XXXII. — The Least Man That Can 
Enter Heaven. 

In Matt. 5:19 Christ says that the least man who 
can reach Heaven is the preacher who teaches other 
men to sin (that is, can't keep from, it). 

Now, some of you men may think strange of that, 
but it is exactly according to the very tenor of that law 
of unanimity of that principle which cannot change 
at all. 

That principle is the full measure of free choice, 
which was the measure of every man's accountability 
to God. Section 7, page 19. 

That comes under the law which says that you shall 
certainly take your neighbor's ox back to him. 

It is also in direct accordance with all deceivers 
having their part in the lake of fire. It is in accord- 
ance with that passage which says : "Cursed is the 
man who moves his neighbor's landmark." Deut. 27 ; 
Matt. 21 -31. 

It also agrees with "He who setteth a snare shall 
get caught therein." 

And also agrees with 2nd Pet., chapter 2, of be- 
guiling unstable souls, cursed children, cursed children, 
and the only thing in this mild assertion that places it 
any above those in the dark pits of hell, is that it comes 
under the axiom of the honest confession being good 
for the soul, 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 165 



Which gives a man a chance to blaze out another 
road, and not be forced to jump into the preacher's 
pits. 

There is no difference in the principle of the tenor 
of the law between bringing a snake into' the bosom 
of one of your family, and teaching them to go off 
into the sinful habits of life. Ez. 17- 18-21. 

And God says you shall certainly bring them back 
or never get out of prison. 

A good beast for the one you destroy, and you shall 
take the dead ones with you, that you took off. 

Oh, my God! for mercy's sake, how many men 
have heard some preachers teach that you must sin 
every day? May God open your eyes is my prayer. 

(2) That hot prison is the one he speaks of. 

Now look to Gen., Num., Lev., and see that to gather 
or cook too much on the Sabbath day was a violation 
of the law, even to the death of the one who cooked 
the meal on the holy day. 

Why? Because God had given them a secret Urim 
and Thummim in their hearts to know how to sep- 
arate themselves from those wicked people, who could 
not tell the difference between holy and unholy life. 

So that they could all divide the waves of sorrow 
before it was too late. 



1 66 Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



And all who are taught so today are thankful for 
it, and those who are not may get thirsty for the 
knowledge, for it showeth that on idle days the wicked 
will go where the diligent have faithfully prepared 
good things, and lust at the table, and follow for the 
loaves and fishes. 

Which is a direct dividing line, showing what Christ 
repeats 2,000 years later, for God said, "All who go 
in mixed multitudes foil" 

Jas. 1:15, and Rom. 6:21, and do all of the day 
singing holiness to God is the rod to use, and if it does 
not kill them they will leave the company ; it will divide 
the waves and you do not have to insult them, but 
the love of God ruins their wicked spirit or drives it 
out. 

THIS REPRESENTS THE FEELING OF THE 
AUTHOR. 

I. 

Oh, the joys, the perfect pleasures, to the soul that 

walketh right; 
No more envy nor silly treasures, to them that's in 

the light. 

Christ the Savior's loving favors keep the pathway 

shining bright 
Till we meet the holy angels, who for each prepares 

his flight. 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 167 



II. 

Oh, the pleasures of the righteous! Christ will always 
give us light. 

No more sorrows, all rejoicing, in the land of per- 
fect bliss; 

Christ, the Savior, whispers favors to His own who 
walk aright, 

Till we meet the holy angels, who are rejoicing 
over this. 

III. 

Understanding far more precious than all the coral, 
gold or gems. 

The wisdom that is in the heart will guide the foot- 
steps and the hand, 

And all who seek for perfect love will quit his sins and 
join this band. 

Faith is super, lover is power, and charity is the perfect 
band, 

And wisdom feareth to do evil, and understanding 
saves the land. 

This should give every thinking man and woman 
an idea of where the cultivated thoughts will end — 
whether for good or evil.

To gratify the wants of man.

Forever seeking for "earthly goal, 

Sinful lusting every day, 

Continual sinking. Where is thy soul?

SEVEN CHURCHES MULTIPLIED. 
I. 

There is a house that I must build, a temple fine and 
grand. 

It shall be erect, and filled with gems that will save

And it shall have an outward robe, to show that it is 

always clean; 
And it shall have no other God — nor envy, hate nor 

spleen. 

All creeds shall have their perfect love, and none from

And keep as doeth the God of Love ; thy ways do 

good and others save. 

III. 

Upon this temple fine and fair, shall build a chapter 

grand and high, 
And place a bell up in the air, to call all churches far 

and nigh. 

Too long, do come today and see, just what the Lord 

has done for me. 
Do come and take this Gospel feast, and eat as one — be 

Jesus' guest. 

IV. 

The temple shall be fine and grand, and lit up by the 
acts of man. 

It shall be always full of light ; the work of man shall

The house shall stand upon the stone, of truth and 

right, it shall be known.

V. 

And all who enter in- that house, and truly feel that 
perfect love, 

Will never want beguile her mouth, and have a home

This chapter a thousand names; perfect your love, 

unite the same; 
Tis written in the temple; make my heart and lips 

His perfect love proclaim. 

VI 

I am going, yes, am going, to that land that loveth all. 
For I know that God is coming, not respecting great

He hath said that salvation's given freely to the ones 
that ever call. 

VII. 

I am ready, Lord, am thirsty, for the food that maketh 
whole ; 

Come, dear Lord, reach down and take me; take all 

my ways, and keep my soul ; 
For I know my home is ready, decked with gems and 
lined with gold. 
(Elated love, mellow.) 

This represents how creeds will try to mislead mem- 
bers (move landmarks) off, and the ignorance of the

careless people will allow lethargy to disband the love 
for each other. Cursed is the man who moves his 
neighbor's landmarks. 

HOLD YOUR BANNER HIGH. 

(Be ye as wise as serpents and harmless as doves.) 

This life is a garden ; the Lord let us use 

To garnish and keep it so clean. 
My toils I entered to clean as I choose, 

And as nice as ever was seen. 
God gave me some babies to learn of His love 
(church). 

His laws they must evermore do. 
They might live comely, and evermore holy, 

In spirit be evermore true. 

Their neighbors objected, their mothers neglected; 

The laws to fulfill was a task (other churches). 
They secretly tell them, and shamefully indulge 
them 

In all kinds of lust of the flesh. 
Ah, mothers, raise your banners high (churches), 
And wave it bravely into the skies. 
There's nothing so grand as a perfect man, 
And keeping God's holy commands. 
When you let the banner so low, 
'Tis then Satan will always know 
Just how to sway thee in the land.

Chorus — 
I will raise my banner high, 
Let me live or let me die. 
'Till the Lord of Lords do call mc 
To that home up in the skies. 



Chapter XXXIII. — Resurrection. 

We must know what resurrection means before we 
can understand it. It means to rise, to come forth, to 
get higher, etc. 

If we can have a temporal resurrection, why not 
have a spiritual one? 

Rise above all deceit, all bad habits — in fact, sin of 
all kinds. If men and women can rise above telling 
lies, covetousness, murder, idolatry, then they can have 
an idea of the resurrection. 

To rise with Christ means to live with Him, walk 
with Him, and do His commandments. 

Then, after this life, comes the resurrection that 
you want to be ready for. 

Oh, think of the glorious resurrection morn, when 
the dead in Christ shall rise! 

To think we shall see Abraham and Isaac, Moses, 
Job and many more. 

When we think of the sweet bye and bye, where 



174 Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



multiplied thousands will be resurrected, it is enough 
to make us want part in the resurrection of Christ. 

When the trumpet of God shall sound, many tombs 
shall burst, the long parted friends will gather on the 
golden shore of eternity and praise God from whom 
all blessings flow. 

But dear dying sinner won't you get ready for this 
wonderful rise? 

We represent the golden grain, not impure grain. 
When grain is sound, it rises from the earth and brings 
forth fruit, and so when we sleep that peaceful slum- 
ber, and rise, we will be numbered with the golden 
sheaves. 

Otherwise we will have no part with Christ. God 
has many wonderful things awaiting His chosen ones. 

Come, drink of the living waters and rise at the 
last day with the redeemed of earth, in the final and 
glorious resurrection which shall be bliss forever and 
ever. 

Who of us believe in God and have faith enough 
to follow the commandments, to trust Him in all 
things, to reach that second resurrection. 

We first set out with this little key of understand- 
ig to make it plain to every child that there is a first 
and a second blessing or favor of the God of Love for 
every one who worshiped the true and living God and 
place their faith in Christ, (ist and 2nd resurrection.) 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 175 



Now comes the last but not the least declaration to 
establish the fact that God hath two blessings for each 
Christian on earth, and that is a token that we also 
have a most glorious resurrection in that bright be- 
yond, in the realms of endless glory, where the angels 
sing forever. 

How many of us believe that God has Enoch to 
teach the glorious resurrection, and but few believed it, 
until they saw him rise in the presence of many people. 

And for awhile many people longed to see the day 
when they would like to rise like he did. 

Now we see the people falling back and losing faith 
again, until after a while Noah went and prepared to 
save the people, to show them that they could be 
resurrected by God's own power. 

And so the righteous in perfect faith entered the 
ark, and were resurrected temporarily, and all of His 
people got the second blessing, and were rulers over 
many things. 

And the Bible shows very clearly that all of His 
people who were righteous were saved. 

Now, when Moses was leading a perfect life, the 
God of Heaven showed him, many times, the angels 
of the resurrected. 

Now, we also have Elijah, who was carried to 
Heaven in a chariot of fire, to teach all men to be 
righteous. Ezek. 37:25. 



176 Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



There was Elisha, who taught the resurrection, and 
he was so full of that Godly spirit of the resurrection 
that when (2nd Kings 13:21) a man was buried in 
his grave, the comforting of that holy spirit raised 
the dead man to his feet, and he lived. 

We have the beautiful history of that most wonder- 
ful Ezekiel, who spake for God in faith till he was 
crowded on one occasion where there had been 240 
men slain a few years before, and it was in the Valley 
of Dry Bones, and when they prophesied that they that 
died in righteousness shall rise, and the dead bones, 
the flesh come on the bones, and skin come on the 
flesh, and an east wind came and the dead arose. 

And Ezekiel did not have to fight the battle. God 
fought the battle in the resurrection of the dead. 

Now, when Christ came, 574 years after, He knew 
what that baptism was to represent; that it had been 
kept up ever since Moses' day (at least I do not re- 
member of ever having seen it before anywhere). 
But Christ knew that it represented the resurrection of 
the dead. 

And He required it upon Himself. Do you reckon 
that He thought that He could not get to Heaven with- 
out that baptism from John? Of course not. 

He knew that He was equal to His father, and 
could do all things. He knew that He had power over 
death. 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 177 



He knew that when He spake forgiveness of sins, 
that the sun would refuse to shine, and the rocks would 
crumble, and that all flesh would bow under the fear 
that would come over them. 

Why, then, did He want to go down into that 
water? 

Why, my dear, dying friends, He came here for the 
purpose of showing to all mankind that the important 
part of His coming was to get all mankind resurrected 
to eternal life. 

First is to resurrect all lazy, careless and sinful men 
in regeneration. And then let them really feel the 
deliverance from wantonness and lust to a free life of 
perfect liberty; 

That is, do not take pleasure in the things of the 
carnal man. 

Why, my dear friends, it is like commencing to im- 
prove education. The boy in his a, b, c's feels like 
he can never obtain an education of any good, but 
after a hard struggle through the fundamental rules 
he begins to climb to the scientific studies, which ele- 
vates the mind, and he soon gets to where he can see 
the reasons of the different divisions of the branches 
of literature. 

And after a while the mind hardly gets any subject 
which it cannot comprehend in a moment. 



178 Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



And when a man gets the second keys- of the king- 
dom, he is like the man who once gets up in finance 
to where he can live in a fine palace and fare sumptu- 
ously every day. 

He has no intention of ever going back down to the 
beggarly elements of sin. He will never entertain the 
idea for a moment. 

Now, Christ was asked the question concerning this 
important subject by one of His chosen apostles, and 
got this answer, If you put a grain of com (wheat) 
in the ground, it will never grow any more corn if it 
does not die. St. John, 12 124. 

Now, is that plain enough for you ? The body dead 
and planted in the ground, to stay there until the 
trumpet of God shall sound. 

Then it shall come forth before the judgment, and 
shall fly away to meet the holy angels, where there 
shall be rejoicing, and each one shall have a palace for 
all of the loved ones. 

Now, as you all know that all temporal things were 
made for our benefit, that we might get an idea of the 
vicissitudes and resplendent blessings of that celestial 
home which was prepared for God's chosen ones in 
that great beyond; 

Xow as it is by cultivating one plant of corn to get 
hundreds of grains from its diligent preparation and 
cultivation, 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 179 



And by learning the student the rules of arithmetic, 
that they comprehend what real calculations can be 
made by this use, and that these rules can find the 
actual contents of any known body, and by their proper 
use that man can tell the actual distance of foreign 
things, and compute properly and with exactness all 
visible, physical and geometrical calculations, and they 
prove to be with exactness ; 

And yet how strange it is to those who do not know 
the system by which these rules are obtained ! 

And yet God teaches us in every day life that this 
is an actual fact. 

Now, let's see if we can take the rules of that one 
unchangeable and never-failing law of God, that is 
operated upon a principle that can not change, and see 
if we can get into that holy and most holy understand- 
ing of the law of God. 

Now, it seems to me that in our previous work we 
have all the evidence from all of God's chosen prophets 
and apostles, and Christ Himself, to establish the fact 
that God gives us a first and a second resurrection (or 
blessing) on earth. 

And we have the very same evidence, coupled with 
the revelation of John, that we also have the culti- 
vated fruits of the first and second resurrection in that 
third Heaven, where the gates are of pearl and the 
streets are of gold and the cities are exceedingly fair.

Now, my dear Christians, it does my soul good to 
know that this is really so, and it gives me strength to 
climb more mountains of sorrow, and to elevate my 
onward steps to the real place itself, where we can 
not only eat the honey dews of Heaven, and have 
eternal rest, but also know all of our friends over there 
and be with our loved ones, and know as we are known. 

How to divide the waves of bad company. 

How to train up the little ones to enjoy early rising 
and diligence in business. 

How to select a companion that will not spoil but 
one house. 

How impossible for a divided house to ever agree, 
for it would make God's eternal law a lie. For He says 
that He will visit their iniquity to the third or fourth 
generation, and that He will never forsake the right- 
ous nor his seed. Therefore, the fool and wise can 
not change His law of light and love; therefore He 
says, Come out from among them. 

And for one end of the house to have the tenderest 
love and truth in it, and the other end of the (ark) to 
have deceit and debauch and cold blood in it, how can 
it mix? God says, from such turn away. 

Let the God of the universe rule that house, but 
look to the dearest ties of flesh and blood. Your own 
flesh, and coupled with your soul, to be forced to for- 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 181 



ever fall into such condemnation ! My God ! too late, 
after yon have gone too far! 

The first key represents the key of time. It is the 
key of a watch, for every man to watch his own clock. 

The crimson line is the tree of life. Moses' rod 
was from Adam to Isaac. The crimson line was tied 
in a bow knot in the birth of Pharez, Zarah. Gen. 
28:15-30. Jacob and Esau. 

The ark of the covenant is directly on the line. 
The line ran through Solomon's temple and must run 
on till the end of time. 

Some of our readers will want to know about bap- 
tism. Christ made that very clear when He said, "Go 
and accept the gift that Moses offered for a cleansing," 
and when you look you will find in Genesis that if they 
were not healed by one dip, the priest would send them 
back and have them dipped again, and if they were 
not healed at seven dippings, they should be left out 
of the camp. 2 Macca. 1, 2:31 ; 1 Ki. 18: 31-40. 

And that clearly shows that if you did not under-

improve till you do get right. 

That also is in accordance with encompassing the 
walls of Jerusalem seven times, and also Elijah send- 
ing his servant the seventh time to report about the 
rain.

But one drop of -pure blood will make a crimson 
line ; that will make you remember that it took the 
pure blood from birth to keep you pure in this life 
long. 

David's wives. David was in the place of God 
there, and the law of the country justified that. And 
that was God's opportunity to show all mankind till 
the end of the world that man might love one woman 
as well as another, but nothing but Godly love recip- 
rocated could possibly produce Godly offspring. 

All of the wealth or splendor, with no love, could 
not possibly generate anything but a mixture which 
can never be in the image of God. 

Solomon's wisdom and refinement and splendor 
could not obtain anything equal to his father nor his 
grandfather in tone and glorifying God. 

Now they had the same God, and the same pro- 
tection, and the support of all the people, but their 
success was not the same. 

But it took that to show that God's law can never 
change ; that a virgin's heart in consecration to God, 
resigned to her own companion, is the only thing 
which can be raised in honor to glorify the God of 
the Heaven. 

That is, to have an intention to follow after any 
crime whatever is the curse which dooms the soul of 
the child, and the only way under Heaven to cure the 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 183 



child of that sin, no odds what it may he, is to com- 
mence its improvement at eight days of age. 

Abraham showed us that it must have the same bap- 
tism until the end of life. (Joshua.) 

Now, the tenor of this law was even written far be- 
yond Abraham's days, for concerning this point God 
says : Cursed is the man who does not conform to all 
of these laws. And all of the congregations shall say, 
Amen ! 

What does it take to be repentant for a thing? 
God said that it repented Him that He had made man, 
and after He said that He had them all burned up or 
drowned or swallowed up in earthquakes but his right- 
eous ones. 

You see to make an offering, you must have it all 
burned up before God on the altar. 

Change. All have fallen short of the glory of God 
whose mouth is full of cursing. If you change at all 
and do not get better you most assuredly get worse. 
Now if you have gradually got bad till you know your 
lost condition you must get well or seven times worse, 
one of the two. Now look to the house that was swept 
and garnished. When he went back to his sins he took 
seven other spirits more wicked than himself. 

Now look at Akau, who committed a crime, and 
seven of this whole family were burned up.

Look to Judges the fourteenth and you will see that 
Samson, though a holy child from birth, got his con- 
sent to sin, and thereby caused all of his wife's people's 
destruction, and the destruction of the tower, and also 
killed himself. 

Look to the fourteenth Psalms and the fifty-third 
Psalms: "The fool hath said in his heart (that is, in 
his actions), there is no God." Corrupt are those 
(fools). There is none that doeth good (fools). 
Every one of them has gone back. ' Every one has be- 
come filthy; has the works of iniquity. They have 
not called upon God. They eat up my people as they 
eat bread. God is in the generation of the righteous. 
Ps. 14:5. 

Cultivate understanding and keep my command- 
ments. Oh, that the salvation of Israel should come 
out of Zion. iWhen God shall bring them back ; Jacob 
shall rejoice and Israel will be glad. 

When we take this subject and analyze it we find 
that God has power to save all people, even through 
fire and seas, but could a man rejoice in salvation in 
Heaven when he could not bear the thoughts of it 
while he lives? 

That is, if a man cannot keep his soul and body to- 
gether on earth, while he has got all of God's beauties 
and blessings here, and knows that God feeds him 
here, then, if you cannot be content and retain your in- 
tegrity and keep your thoughts and prayers ascending 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 185 



to Heaven while you are realizing His goodness, how 
can your soul, which was dead here on earth, how can 
it come back to life after your body is dead and buried? 

Oh, say, man, is this plain enough? Well, then, 
God has these histories of all generations to show 
that every man which He records as a prophet did 
come to that happy conclusion after the very same 
experience, which came to all alike, and every one who 
accepted it in its fullness were fully supported and 
given the strength to execute God's law according to 
their sanctification, which was the result of the bond 
of perfectness, which was the effect of patience, which 
was the effect of sorrows and tribulations, which 
caused the true knowledge of God's love and mercies, 
which caused faith. 

So you see that the law has never changed, and all 
of the heirs of salvation obtain it according to God 
which they worship, which was to be proven. 

The Spirit of God searches all things ; yea, the deep 
things of God. 

The house of prayer is my house. 

Faith in the serpent. Now, we have a great many 
people who think that it was faith in the serpent which 
healed their diseases ; that is they say they do, but one 
of those men knows well that God's law doesn't 
change. 



1 86 Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



And if you notice, the most of them have as much 
faith in Christ today as they have in that serpent, for 
they do not show by their works that they will let the 
law of Christ rule over them. 

Now, if I were to let a snake bite them, they would 
get up an awful howl about it. Their faith would not 
move them to God nor to Christ, but they would run 
to tobacco or snuff or whisky. 

Why, you have not got enough faith in God to risk 
Him with your family, and your short-sightedness 
caused the life insurance companies to take care of your 
earnings, that your children need in education. 

Now they never expect to see it till it is too late to 
do them any good and then they are dependent upon 
God alone for salvation, without any education. 

The snake was brass. The molten images were such, 
as dragons, that God destroyed. 

There is another thing that you will always notice 
in this serpent. There is fully as much efficacy in a 
brazen serpent's healing as there was in dragons, or 
Diana, or any other worthless lust of the eyes or teeth. 

You will also notice that every time that God gave 
one of His photographs to the people, it reflected light 
in many more ways, and always revealed hidden 
treasures.

TO ALL ALIKE. TO THE ISRAELITES AND 
STRANGERS. 

Now if you will look at Num. 7:1 you will see that 
after Moses got the tabernacle fully set up, he had all 
of the vessels, to sanctify them; that all of the Levites 
received according to his service, and each of the tribes 
had to offer exactly the same offering. 

And the first thing was one golden spoonful of 
incense, and that had to weigh ten shekels, and that 
represents the perfect gift (thyself) and the fulness 
of the heart to God — a living sacrifice. 

And each one had to do the same (Num. 9:14) to 
the stranger. For a peace offering, one bullock, one 
ram, one lamb, for the first year, to be burned ; and 
. one kid for a sin offering. Also a peace offering, two 
oxen, five rams, five goats and five lambs; also one 
silver charger, the weight one hundred and thirty 
shekels; one silvel bowl, seventy shekels. 

Now you will see that this agrees with all the other 
tithes of all the other tribes, of other ages, 

And shows that at each decade in this world the 
law was to all alike, and that if faith and diligence is 
used, God will merit their efforts. 

And the rich shall give according to their wealth. 
See Ex. 30:13-19. 

The priests shall wash at the brazen laver their 
hands and their feet. Now you see very clearly that 



1 88 Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



you must actually walk with clean feet in this life, and 
clean hands, or forever be lost. 

Now it seems to me that it has been shown clear 
enough that the law of God is one law. And all who 
fail to follow that law of organism are bound to. fall 
heir to its eternal destruction. 

As all of the apostles and prophets have shown us, 
where a few do violate God's law, thousands have fallen 
thereby. Be ye therefore perfect, saith the Lord. 

Now, we will endeavor to make plain that principle 
of government, which regulates right. Now God 
made this world according to a law which sustains 
organism; that is, wherever malaria will form, there 
is also a vegetation or mineral which is an antidote 
for the malarial poison. 

Wherein you violate the organic law, you must 
suffer at least one-fifth more for the violation than it 
was worth to you. And wherever you cultivate these 
violations, they will yield thirty, and sixty, and a hun- 
dred fold. 

Now, to illustrate this never-failing fact, we will 
first take a lie against some one, and when you begin 
to trace it, you will find out that the one who started 
it will tell many more to get out of that one. 

Again, let some one start a quarrel, and in a short 
time see what an awful fuss, or maybe death, and see 
if it ever benefits any one. And see how many neigh- 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 189 



bors and how many of your family get damaged by 
the starting of that broil. 

Next we will take that disposition that Peter, Paul 
and James speak of, who walk after lusts, whose 
mouths are near unto cursing, those who were made 
to be burned. 

And see how many have beg'un following the sav- 
ages, who first used tobacco, whisky and such like. 
They want that personal liberty to do themselves all 
the harm that they want to, which instead of its being 
liberty, it is bondage, for when they once get in a habit 
of it, they remain bound to it, and can never be satis- 
fied without it. 

They cannot feel the reality of freedom any more 
as long as they live. Which they are not only bound 
to that lust, but are also bound to do without other 
things that are bound also to have a great many dis- 
eases and maladies which they would not have had if 
they had let it alone. 

Our best specialists have found out long ago that 
the most of our diseases are caused directly or indi - 
rectly from these mental defects of habits. 

And the longer a man goes on, the further from 
reason and control he gets, and after they get started 
they find out they should have let it alone, but there 
are few of them who will ever quit. 

We find out they will see their children suffer for 
victuals, clothes, shoes and education, just to keep up 



190 Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



their personal liberty — in other words, the devil's 
bondage. (The devil's servants.) 

Now this principle, which violates God's law of 
organism (Ex. 20, Deut. 27, Joshua and Proverbs), 
it proves to be the greater part — about 90 per cent — of 
those whose mouths are full of cursing. Ps. 53-1-10, 
and Ps. 14; 2nd John and 2nd Peter, second chapter, 
and James 4th, and the 1st, and fighting warring, 
caused by lust. Which you know if a war captures 
you, you are certainly under its whole control. 

Now, as there cannot exist but two controllers, the 
devil hath the power, and therefore we must suffer 
the devil's treatment. Men cultivate lust, and that is 
always costly. 

The United States in 1872 had only three men who 
were worth each over one million dollars; now she 
has four hundred and sixty. 

And the most of our people at that time had their 
homes paid for, but few men smoked and chewed, and 
snuff was nearly unknown, and whisky and beer a 
small amount. Very few asylum inmates, and few in 
the prisons and at convict labor. 

Today we have nearly sixty million tobacco and 
snuff lusters, without homes, and thousands in our 
asylums, and thousands in Sing Sing and other con- 
vict homes, and thousands in a state of mind not fit 
for business (indolent). 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 191 



And when we go to calculate it true, we find that 
between 80 and 90 per cent are victims of the one 
which God said the bond woman and her children 
should be cast out. 

Oh, that principle of the law which brings damna- 
tion to all who fall in mixed crowds and go wild after 
their habits; like God was not able to keep you alive 
on wholesome foods. He says they allure through 
the lusts of the flesh. 

Now, when you go out in the large cities, where the 
best and most prosperous people live, and just watch, 
you will see some men who are well off usmg all of 
these habits, but you will most assuredly find every 
ragged, nasty negro, rake and scrape using these 
habits. 

When a man can read the Bible and see the com- 
mands, and God tells him there is a fire already kindled 
to burn up all who will not say Amen to all of His laws 
and conform to the same (Deut. 27), and then follow 
those things, when Christ has said that the ax is laid/ 
at the root of the tree, and all that is not fit for food 
shall be cut down and be cast into the fire, not only of 
fruit trees, but also those who keep not all the com- 
mands, who cause -my people to err; 

He well knows that the flaming sword is coming, 
not respecting great or small, principalities nor pow- 
ers. Jas. 1-15. 



192 Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



You know that all who lead off little children will 
surely burn therein. You wilfully jump into lust, the 
beginning of sin ; the finish of sin is death. Isa. 59 

Lusts of fruit and meats sprung jealousy in Cain 
to kill Abel. It was lust that caused Moses to fall 
down and break the two tables of the law. It was lust 
that caused 680,000 to fall when they lusted after par- 
tridge meat, garlic and onions. It was lust that caused 
Esau to try to take Jacob's life, and sold his own soul, 
and wept in screams and tears, but found out not how 
to repent (quit lust!). Heb. 12-17. 

Oh, man, is not this proof enough that God's law 
cannot be changed, and that we are the whole cause of 
our own conderrnation or salvation? 

Think, listen and read! 

Life insurance shows a lack of faith in God; and, 
including drinks and chews, dips and smoking, etc., 
there were over $2,700,000,000 thrown away last year 
for the lack of keeping the Mosaic commandment. 

And it was the poor men who did the most of it, 
according to the records. 

And some one had to catch that money. Now, 
whose fault is it? When I throw a dollar away, are 
you to blame for catching it? Honestly, I should 
think not.

Does God hold you responsible for wasting' what

WORDS OF (WARNING TO MOTHERS. 

The only way to cultivate a child's heart and mind 
to be proud of in this life is to begin at least twelve 
months before his birth to cultivate the truth in all 
things and the love of truth. 

Do not at any time entertain the thought that you 
can hide any secret thing from his father without doing 
the child a life-time curse. Wis. Jesus 1 114; Wisdom 
Sol. 4-6; Apochrypha B. C. 200. 

/Thousands of mothers have cursed their sons and 
daughters for an endless life by fancying that it was 
funny to secretly enjoy some innocent pastime which 
the child cannot break the bonds of and must suffer 
the effect, and bring his mother .directly accountable 
to God's natural law for the death to the soul. 

"Thou shalt not eat of any secret or creeping- 
things." God's truth will ahvays come to light, and 
Mount Ebel will shine, the same as Gerizim. Jud. 
13-14, 14.V. 

'Tis far better for all crosses to be made known as 
soon as possible, and made right or disbanded, than 
for whole families and communities to be forever 



194 Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



cursed by hidden confusion and broiling blood, which 
raises the fumes of lasting sorrow. 

And God Himself can only repay. "He will avenge 
every hidden crime upon their heads who worketh a 
trick saith the Lord." 

When young folks meet together, and watch, in 
common conversation, the plays and conversation will 
always locate the intent of the heart. Any one who 
takes pleasure in swindling in a game for fun, or cruel 
pastime upon other company, will certainly deceive in 
after years. 

The proverb, "He who takes a pin in childhood 
will, take a pound in age" was well explained when 
Jesus said, "they yield thirty, sixty and an hundred 
fold." 

And of the ones who< take care of their brothers' 
sheep, and the helpless in childhood, shall be prophets, 
as Joel, David and Ezekiel. 

If you would be happy in old age, be very careful 
how to select your company. "All who go in mixed 
multitudes fell (lusting), six hundred thousand at one 
time." 

You may glorify God by weeping for your loved 
ones, who have broken your heart and been lost, in 
open rebellion against all love and patience, but one 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 195 



thing sure; you cannot bring back the dead. He says 
that you must take the dead beast with you. 

But He says you must glorify Him by being wise. 
"And be ye separate from them." "Let the dead bury 
their dead" (who cannot realize one thought of what 
love is). 

Who possesses pure love ? We take for an example, 
the one who was the perfect image of the God; who 
fell prostrate in anguish and refused to eat or be com- 
forted for the space of a fortnight ; he whose tongue 
clave in the roof of his mouth, the misery of his heart 
was so great ; whose prayers ascended to Heaven, 
pleading to take him out of this world of sorrow, to 
relieve his agonizing misery of heart. 

Now comes the deep thought, What is love? That 
element of the heart which causes the father to toil 
his life away, to work night and day, scarcely taking 
time to eat, not forgetting his God, but praying as he 
goes, to lay up every .luxury and necessary comfort 
and perhaps never get a kind word from the one who 
should be "as one?" 

Or perhaps it may be the mother whose son or 
daughter has stooped down to the degraded state of 
shame, of Satan, that could not and should not be 
tolerated in any place. 



196 Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



Yet look at the broken-hearted mother in tears of 
grief and anguish, coming in tears and smiles to meet 
her child. 

Your tongue may cleave to the roof of your mouth 
and your teeth may chatter with heartfelt grief, but 
yet that love, yes, love, will make you beg for death 
rather than to give up the one that you really love. 

When I look at the words, perfect love, and try to 
solve their depth, I find that there are no words known 
to me which will convey the mind to the brink of that 
crystal sea which casteth out all fear. 

Yes, we see men faint and fall when their mind 
realizes that their love is all lost — has never been re- 
ciprocated. 

Yes, we see love will drive the calmest hearts to 
lay clown their own lives, and we have many histories 
where love has supported the body of many for forty 
days without food. 

Yes, and Daniel's love would soothe the anger of 
the fiercest lions. 

Yes, and Moses' love for the laws of truth would 
bring fire from Heaven to consume the sins of earth, 
and the love of the prophetess Deborah would bring 
hailstones from Heaven to fight the battles for her 
sake. 

And the love which Elijah possessed would be re- 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 197 



ciprocated by the birds of the air and the angels of 
God. 

Abraham's love was accepted and cherished by 
three angels at one time. The three Hebrew children 
actually danced the holy dance in the furnace of burn- 
ing fire, but never forsook their love, which is the 
greatest power known to this world. 

God Himself says that the greatest thing known to 
Him is the bonds of perfect love (charity). 

Oh, can there be one so low, beneath God's image true, 
Who cannot love the only law, that which He made 
for you. 

You may not know you really love the one you daily 
serve, 

But God Himself sees from above each one who sears 
his brain and nerve. 

How can you live and love a law, and blush to face 
the line? 

Or would you run to meet your love, and shout, yes, 
every time ? 

I love my God, the one I serve, so well I love His 
rules. 

It gives me strength, renews the nerves, to win Satanic 
fools. 



198 Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



I love to know that law is just, and feel that crimson 
cord, 

And keep my actions free from lust, thus praising" God 
the Lord. 

This law so straight, it tells your fate, so all who wills 

won't be too late; 
Divides the waves of wrong" and right, that all whe 

wills may g-et the light. 

When Jesus said lust was the war that fights the souls 
of men, of course the souls of mothers ; 

The appetite commands the guns to slay the souls of 
others. 

When Satan hath control of one, her ignorant lust 
condemns her sons. 

The truthful heart is always brave, 

And love is wholly holy, too. 

All wedded hearts like God will do 
The righteous, always save. 

His holy one she'll ever bless 

When bands of wicked plot. 
My God will give them peace and rest ; 

My loved ones have forgot. 

Why should my loved ones break my heart 

And join the band of thieves 
Who drink the sweet milk after dark, 

The wicked ones to serve and please? 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 199 



Have we a mother in this land 

Would be content, her children train 

To know their father, a wicked man, 
Would lead them down an evil lane?. 

Will God then have an image true, 
Or will an ape or monkey do ? 
Can God Himself discern between 
The monkey man and Godly queen ? 

SEA LION. 

This sea lion is the one Christ speaks of in Rev. 
1 3- 1, and saw a beast coming up out of the sea with 
seven heads and ten horns, with all whose names are 
not written in the book of life, shall worship this 
beast, shall bear his mark in their hands and fore- 
head. And the seven heads which Christ speaks of, 
three of them have two horns each to try to imitate the 
triune god heads, i. e., Father, Son and Holy Ghost. 
Four of them have only one horn. Some have teeth 
and claws, and some have claws and bills like buz- 
zards. And when the mother of harlots found him 
coming up from baptism, she gathered her bottle of 
drink in her right hand, and her parasol for comfort, 
and tied her snuff-box in her stocking, and laid her 
Bible on it, and flew to the sea lion, and rode into the 
presence of all churches, proclaiming the new half of 
the law for salvation. She did not bootleg whisky, 
but holds it publicly, but snuff was so much worse she 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 201 



hid it under her Bible, and denies half of God's law 
for that is the only way to claim any part of God's law 
and future salvation, and practice sin while we live. 
This fierce serpent's teeth show where the danger is, 
and his tail drew a third part of the angels of Heaven 
for their works do follow them. 

Rev. 1 3- 1. His tail drew a third part of the angels 
of Heaven whose mouths were full of curses, who have 
those gnashing teeth, the one who the mother of Har- 
lots gave daily sacrifice, by whom the very elect of 
God are drawn, who go in mixed multitudes. The 
ones who have two horns are also tied to those who 
have but one. They equal the same fabulous beast 
but they claim the gift of God. They carry their Bible 
on their back, chew their quid between their teeth, 
burn foul incense to the God, orders his whisky, dips 
his snuff, and goes through baptism, when he comes 
up out of the sea of baptism the mother of all harlots 
grabs her snuff box, and rides this most detestable 
serpentic lion which Christ speaks of, which is the 
same character that misled all the people of the world. 
Christ knew that this same beast would accept baptism 
for his righteousness, and follow their whoredoms and 
befoul all innocence, like the preacher who said him- 
self, did many things too mean to tell any man, but 
was perfectly willing to tell of stealing the sweet milk, 
and dipping snuff, chewing tobacco, drinking dram 
publicly, and swearing- at times, challenging people to 



202 Key to the' Lost Treasures of the Bible 



fight at church, and can not cease from sin, beguiling 
unstable souls, digging pits, and setting snares, and 
shall get caught therein. "Cursed children." One 
head represents a buzzard's head, but a buzzard would 
not use such things. Where the carcass is the buzzards 
will be gathered. These preachers preaching and 
practicing these fabulous sins of seven heads. Oh. 
say, will they go in at the marriage feast? Will he 
be the true husband of the lamb's wife? 

The gift of God is eternal life, like Jesus Christ our 
Lord. If the death of Christ saves all the sinners in 
their sins, this serpent and all his followers will be in 
Heaven with us. If that were so we would need no 
cultivation of people. Hence the razor-backed hog 
would be as valuable as the registered, and the wild 
broncho would be worth as much as the best animal, 
which is bound to be false doctrine to imitate God in 
all things is the only way to glorify His son. To gen- 
erate an equal is one thing, and to degenerate is cursed, 
and to regenerate means to get higher and glorify our 
Savior, to generate better morals, better intentions, and 
more love, and truth, and clean teeth, and a clean life 
in all things is the gift (meaning talent) of God, and 
that is what pardons all sin for he who hath this gift 
is regenerated body and mind, and his daily walk 
shows it. 

For their teeth shall be broken (Job. 4-10, Psa. 3-7, 
58-6, Jere 31-29). The children's teeth are on edge. 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 203 



(Ez. 1 8-2, Amos 4-6.) Shall have cleanliness of teeth 
in all of your cities, i. e., holy people. Mat. 8-12. 
Then you shall have weeping and gnashing of teeth. 
Mat. 22-13, 2 4"5 r > 2 5"3°- Showing very clearly that 
his anger was at the ignorant teeth which had caused 
their damnation. Psa. 14-4, Psa. 53-4. The fools 
every one of them have gone back. They eat up my 
people as they eat bread. You see that the seven heads 
are to represent the seven plagues that were to receive 
the seven vials of the wrath of God. Rev. 17. 

Every one that partakes of the beast, who bear their 
mark in their hands and foreheads (i. e., to know the 
power of temptation) and keep it in your hands and 
houses to tempt others whether you use it or not, you 
are guilty of the beast's mark, that is, you are justify- 
ing either secretly or openly a crime, which you know 
to shun yourself. 

Whatsoever you give to one of the least (these) 
little ones, you give also to Christ, foul incense (pipe 
or poison of any kind). 

What we have we give unto him, sixty-five million 
people who have gone down into the pits of the Nico- 
litans, which I, meaning Christ, also hate, and except 
you "go back and do your first work over," you shall 
be destroyed quickly. How can you go back and get 
your first love over again after you follow sin till you 
cannot bear the thoughts cf forsaking your snuff or 
quids, and such like.

third of the stars of Heaven (angels) by their tails, 
which they tell, and we have always had a majority 
who were sinful and as our Democratic system of 
ruling is master with us. 

iWe Democratically set aside our God's super-ruling 
spirit and follow the Satanic spiritual ruling. Hence 
we have the ninety-one hundredths craving Sin and 
Folly and monetary pleasure and when death comes, 
they have not made the temperance and temporal cul- 
tivation to attain the real and spiritual guide and have 
fallen short of the glory of God. 

Those whose mouths are near cursing, who have 
consumed themselves in their own doings and their 
own doom is plainly written after it is too late to go 
back and repent — and re-live their life over again. Oh ! 
say, is this not plain enough? Now some people may 
not understand this baptism and get tangled. Remem- 
ber Christ accepted the baptism of Moses — showing 
that ye yet are protected and governed by the same God 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 205 



and the same law that Moses was. But Christ did not 
use it upon other people, neither did the other apostles, 
excepting in a few places, but all well knew that it was 
yet as necessary as it was in Moses' day* — and if you 
had been even sprinkled with Christ in the flesh, that 
would save you from a desire to sin, and Christ well 
knew that a great many people in all churches and 
creeds would gladly mix with seven kinds of sin, and 
claim baptism external for a cloak to justify their 
complaints, big and little. 

If a little plan or trigger will trap you in hell, it is 
the same hell as if you had been caught in a big plan 
or Sin, for instance — if the desire of snuff or dram 
will make you lie or steal, the crime is the same as if 
you had wanted ten dollars of a hundred dollars worth 
of the same or of some other thing you wanted badly 
enough to tell the same lie or commit the same theft. 
Therefore it is for the lack of the Grace of God that 
made you tell the Lie, and — When that "Grace" or 
gift of God (his talent for love), is not there. 

The perpetrator will do any crime which he thinks 
he can conceal, and enjoy, and of course is damned, 
(Mat. 5-25) and, I believe, "Hath death abiding in 
Him." 

ONE LORD, ONE FAITH, ONE BAPTISM. 

That one Lord has one law, and that law cannot 
change; neither can any one come to a knowledge of 



2o6 Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



truth who thinks that a part of that law will save a 
man in the next world. 

Solomon used the ist Kings, second chapter, to 
show all men to the end of the world that it was a har- 
lot who would wish to cut the law in two ; that when 
you cut the natural law in two you left the spirit out, 
and that God would be as much displeased with that 
as a mother would be to see her dearest baby cut in 
two in public shame, and see its blood run cold. 

'Tis impossible to work a problem and leave off 
half the rules to work it (the law). 'Tis impossible 
to put a clock to running and leave off one-fourth of 
law, or works. 

God's law was always complete, but the tenor of 
the operation of the Holy Spirit was not so plainly 
understood till Jesus Christ came and showed how it 
would lead, guide, guard and direct all who would 
consecrate themselves and covenant with the Con- 
troller, and follow the same leading spirit that directed 
Moses, .Noah, Elijah, Ezekiel and all of them in the 
beginning, and to show us that this was the only way 
under Heaven to continually perpetuate his unchange- 
able law. 

The one Lord, He who is able to keep you out of 
sin. 

The one faith in one God (that is saving now). 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 207 



The one baptism, into the death of all sins, and 
raised up to walk in newness in this life. 

In Kings the First, and chapter three, we have a lesson 
fine. 

We have two harlots here portrayed, to reach the sin- 
ner's mind. 

The first one she her baby killed, and hid the facts 
from sight. 

Her cunning hands, in evil skilled, stole another after 
night. 

She could not keep from sin, yon see; her will was 

weak and vain; 
She only was a selfish flea, and wished to have a 

mother's name. 

In harlot two, we have true love, but lost in ignorance 
vile ; 

She wished her darling raised in a hovel, just to raise 
her child. 

The first one wants to take a knife and cut the flesh 
in two, 

And let its precious blood run cold, to gain the public 

love and view. 
The mother wants to cut with sin, to have a happy 

lifetime here; 

Separates the flesh from the soul within, forever free 
from cares. 



2o8 Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



Come all ye men of ministry, and look here at the dead ; 
The soul that's lost in misery, and lost where it was led. 
Come tell me which you rather have, your baby dead, 

its body clave, its soul in Eden true, 
Or have its soul in burning hell, in constant distant 

view ? 

Though you have been an elect, and in that paradise, 
How could you look clown and happy be, and see the 
loved one raised in vice? 

Then come at once and make your mind to keep a bet- 
ter light, 

And never fail to be a man, and lead the babies right. 
In Avickedness there is no love, for child, nor God, nor 
Christ ; 

In Christian hands there are no slaves; 'tis one eternal 
life.

Apoc, 3-4-1 1-15 verses, 17. 

Noah was found perfect and righteous ; in the time 
of wrath he was taken in exchange for (the whole 
world) and therefore he was left as -emnant unto 
Earth, after the flood came. 

Abraham was a great father of many people ; in glory 

as there none like unto him; (he) who kept the law 
oi the Most High and was in covenant with Him. He 
established the covenant in his flesh, and when he was 
ed he was found to be faithful; 

Therefore, He assured him by an oath that He 
would bless his seed and multiply them as the dust of 
the earth, and exalt his seed as the stars and to the ut- 
most parts of the earth. He also blessed Isaac, Jacob 
and Tobit, 14:5. Key p. 53. 

Do you love your wife and babies? Well, learn' 
how Winfrey and his men keep their friends clear, red 
and healthy. Thirty years ago I found an excellent 
diplomatic physician who was well skilled in the home- 
opathic treatment, i. e., to use poisons to antify poison, 
i. e., mercury, arsenic, strychnine, for malaria, etc. ; 
and morphia, opiates, etc., to lull or deceive your 
nerves and remove pain. But after a few months of 
penetrating medical theory I found that the actual 
facts when the different functions of the body were 
composed of various materials and when you used these 
different kinds of poison you also did the balance of the 



2i6 Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



body more harm than you did that part good. And I 
also found out that the theory of diagnosis was con- 
flicting in so great per cent that it was a failure and 
more of a guess by the doctor than a known fact. I 
often talked to Dr. Jarrell of this guessed-at theory 
and finally decided that I would not ever offer any 
poison to any one, no odds how many diplomas I had ; 
so I abandoned the thought of ever giving any kind of 
homeopathic poison and left it off for life. 

But in the course of three years I found out that my 
loved ones, whom I loved far better than I loved my- 
self, got awful sick, and I ran hastily after these same 
homeopathic M. D.'s, and they used these same pre- 
scriptions which I knew better than to use. They lost 
one of my babies in Nacogdoches, and almost lost my 
wife. After three consultations, five of the best I could 
get said she was bound to remain an invalid for life. 

But at last I found a list of formulas known to have 
been the specifics of Ringer C. Murrel of London, 
which cured my wife in quite a short while, and I used 
them for all of my children and wife for fourteen 
years before I sought to find their origin. But after 
awhile the woman whom I worshipped turned my soul 
to God and Bible, and while reading the Holy Book I 
found that God had told His holy men to heal the sick, 
and how to seal the temple, etc., and when I took 
Smith's medical dictionary of the Bible and Webster's 
unabridged dictionary, and the Materia Medica, and 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 2\y 



the United States Dispensatory, and sought the real 
meaning in those days, I really found out that I was 
already using the very remedies which God directed 
all His righteous people to use, and that the galhanum 
and olive oil is our No. 15, and that the sweet spices, 
Stactee and Ondra, are in our eighteen other remedies 
that are in simple purity, and since we have been using 
these remedies among- the sick children not one un- 
der thirty years old has ever died till this day, whom I 
have known to have taken these remedies as directed. 
And as long as the druggist will keep all on hand and 
fill them pure, it may prove to be the grandest blessing 
to humanity and to restore faith in God and Christ on 
earth. 

When Christ was on the cross they gave Him the 
kidney weed, hyssop and myrrh, and took him down 
and begged His body and annointed His body with 
No. 15, and took Him the spices — 13, 16, 37, 39. And 
He got up the third clay and requested them to see the 
nail-prints, and said the way is made so plain that the 
wayfaring man, though a fool, need not err therein.

240 Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



To find the dose for a child add twelve to the age 
of the child and divide the result by its age. This is 
simple and easy, and is sufficiently correct. 

Example: If the child is 3, add 12, which equals 
15, divided by 3, equals 1-5 of an adults' dose. 

But in narcotics decrease the dose and in purga- 
tives you increase, according to the frequency and in- 
tensity of the misery. 

But little sickness will ever occur if you will keep 
No. 8 for the liver, No. 5 for chills, No. 16 for risings, 
sores and carbuncles, and No. 39 for kidneys, always 
on hand, for these will ward off most other evils, I 
find by my own experience. 

Brief explanation of the medical use of this book : 
By the careful study and use of these remedies I would 
rather have them in my house than any doctor, for any 
one will know more about the customs of our own 
children than a strange doctor called in. Therefore, 
the fathers' and mothers' knowledge is better than that 
of the doctor. 

The best diagnoser in the world acknowledged that 
they miss it forty-seven in every hundred without the 
diagnosis of the fathers' and mothers' instruction. 
Often ten cents worth of the right kind of medicine is 
worth five dollars worth of the doctor's. 

Twenty years of my own experience with this book 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 241 



has taught me in every case that Nos. 8 and 39 were 
first needed to rearrange the liver and kidneys. Then 
whatever the disease might be could he reached, and I 
have never yet given any of these medicines to any 
one who had died in five months thereafter, that I have 
yet heard of ; not one under 30 years of age. 

Now, for instance, in consumption, in the case of 
J. J. Haynes of Commerce, Texas, Alice Pruitt of 
Texarkana, Doctor Hightower of Madisonville, Lillie 
Gregory of Commerce, Mrs. Carrie Grigsby and many 
others too numerous to tell of, we find the doctors 
have decided that it was impossible to cure them and 
in each case they differed as to complications, but the 
very same numbers eight and thirty-nine, numbers 
three and twenty- four and thirty-seven and sixteen 
and number thirteen were needed with each man. Willi 
each woman the same was needed, adding numbers 
thirty-four and fifteen and thirty-three, and every one 
got well alike and in each case they used snuff and 
tobacco. 

Every one who quit snuff and tobacco got well in 
half the time and half the medicine. 

Now, if you notice, it takes thirty-three kinds of 
medicines for a man and forty-five kinds for an old 
woman, and in each and every case, it takes Nos. 8 and 
39 and Nos. 3 and 24 to begin with, showing that if 
you had not neglected yourself, that you would not 
have had such diseases. 



242 Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 



In rheumatism, neuralgia and sick headache and such 
pains, we will notice that the same medicines are 
needed, excepting for the bronchial tubes and the sore 
lungs. Now, then, we also notice for stomach trou- 
bles, sore eyes, piles, constipation, B right's diseases, 
enlarged spleen, we find the same numbers 8 and 39 
and 37, and where the skin is very yellow or dark No. 
13. We also find that where abscesses, carbuncles, 
boils, poison oak, itch, scrofula and catarrh and skin 
diseases and all sores, that No. 16 is bound to be taken 
to remove the causes of troubles. We also notice that 
the health is also invigorated when you precede 16 
with Nos. 8 and 39, followed with 37. We also find 
that every time you use 56 for dangerous fevers, that 
you may give No. 8 every one or two hours and No. 
39 three hours apart with every case of the above that 
you will succeed by rubbing the spinal column and the 
abdomen with spirits turpentine and table salt or qui- 
nine and turpentine. 

Tie a turpentine string around the waist for so- 
called appendicitis and gall-stone. We find that where 
the doctors have found appendicitis and gall-stone that 
Nos. 8 and 39, Nos. 13 and 37, and the waist bound in 
turpentine, and rub freely with No. 15, have never 
failed yet to cure. Now, whether the doctors are mis- 
taken or not in diagnosing I cannot tell, but in many 
cases we have tried — they have all gotten well. 



Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 243 



Childbed-Fever, Birth, etc. 

We find that the same medicine is a positive cure 
for the mother that cures the infant, for it is liver 
and kidney troubles in both cases and congestion that 
most invariably is upon the baby, when its mother had 
these fevers. We find Nos. 8 and 39 and 56 and 37 
and the mother most invariably needs 34 and 16 to 
rectify the blood and contract the displacement and to 
remove the foul feces, etc., etc. This feature alone is 
well worth several times the cost of this book. 

This treatment is as far ahead of the ordinary treat- 
ment as the electric cars are ahead of the ox-cart, or 
the telephone ahead of the mails. All mothers should 
take No. 8 and No. 39 one month before confinement, 
and No. 16 from five to ten days before, and take No. 
37 afterwards. Save the need of a doctor's visit. 

Precaution : Mothers and young- girls should al- 
ways remember that whatever will bring a woman 
right will also cause abortion. In such cases, we will 
not use 31, 33 or 34. In such cases women should al- 
ways know that where a female inflammation exists, 
that Nos. 8, 39 and 16 will have to be used before com- 
mencing with 34, and that No 16 is for inflamed de- 
rangement of the blood, internal as well as external.

TESTIMONIAL. 

I have worked in the printing of religions journals 
and literature for many years, and I can truthfully 
say, after linotyping "Key to the Lost Treasures," that 
this book is unique and different from most books of 
its kind. A patient study of its contents cannot help 
but be a benefit to all who seek the narrow way, and 
any family who will observe the moral precepts incul- 
cated therein will certainly be better citizens and neigh- 
bors by reason of its perusal, as well as improving 
their physical and financial condition. 
244 Key to the Lost Treasures of the Bible 

The medical formulas given are worth alone many 
times the cost of the book, $2.50, while the practical 
suggestions for the elevation of the physical, mental 
and spiritual life are beyond price. 

May all who buy and read the book be thereby drawn 
nearer to Him in whose spirit it is written, and may 
they enter into the spirit and understanding of the 
writer. GEORGE N. BEACH, 

Linotype Compositor.
